At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Huerto Ribera, which dates back to the 19th century. During our visit, we'll learn about the growth of high-quality oranges.

The tour will begin with a view of the large warehouse and a walk through the gardens to see the century-old orange trees and various flowers, enjoying the aroma of orange blossom.

We'll discuss traditional cultivation methods and the incorporation of avant-garde techniques in this sector. You will learn about different varieties of citrus fruits, including Sanguinelli, citrus yuzu, mano de buda, citrus caviar, calamondin, and kumquats.

You will observe the operation of irrigation systems, pruning, and grafting. There will be a competition, with a diploma as a qualified farmer awarded to the winner. Participants can also engage in an activity allowing them to harvest up to 1.5 kilos of oranges or tangerines themselves.

After 2 hours and 30 minutes exploring the orange grove, we will enjoy a tasting of artisanal liqueurs with fruit flavors.
