History
La Torre del Homenaje and the local almazara reflect centuries of rural life; the mill dates to the 18th century and shows traditional olive processing techniques.
Conservation

Bring comfortable shoes
Cobblestones and mill floors are uneven; closed-toe shoes make the visit safer and more pleasant.
Skip strong scents
Avoid heavy perfumes or garlic before the tasting so olive oil flavors come through clearly.
Ask about bottle purchases
Bring cash or card to buy monovarietas and flavored oils directly from producers at the end of the tour.
Plan for steps
Historic buildings and the almazara have stairs and narrow passages—this tour is not wheelchair accessible.
Comfortable walking shoes
Protect your feet on uneven historic floors and paths.
