Traiguera & Cervera del Maestre Guided Tour

The Traiguera & Cervera del Maestre Guided Tour offers a deep dive into olive oil production and visits to two villages. The tour begins at 8:45 am at the Benicassim Tourist Office, where participants will board a bus to Traiguera.

In Traiguera, the tour includes a visit to a property featuring thousand-year-old olive groves and insights into the production of olive oil, known as the region's 'liquid gold.' Visitors will walk through the orchards and see the Sinfo Olive Tree, recognized as one of Europe's oldest trees and awarded for its monumental status in 2018. An olive oil tasting session paired with typical cold meats will follow.

Next, the group will travel to Cervera del Maestre, where they will visit the Oil Mill Visitor Centre to learn about local olive grove traditions. After this, there will be approximately 1 hour to explore Cervera del Maestre, noted for its medieval castle of Arab origin, constructed for defense during Spain's Reconquest.

The final visit will be to the Royal Sanctuary Virgen Fuente de la Salud in Traiguera, an Asset of Cultural Interest with historical ties to Charles V. Participants will review the site's various components, including the hostelry and chapel.

The tour concludes between 2:15 pm and 2:45 pm at the initial meeting point.
