Alfarnate and Alfarnatejo Olive Oil Tour Itinerary

We will depart from your hotel in Nerja and head to an ancient olive grove in the province of Malaga. Here, we will observe the traditional techniques of cultivating and harvesting olives, which are used in the production of olive oil - the ‘liquid gold’ of Andalucía.

Next, we will visit an authentic Andalusian farmhouse with its own oil mill, where oil extraction takes place. Following this, we will participate in a comprehensive tasting of a wide variety of olives.

After this experience, we will enjoy a traditional lunch at the Venta de Alfarnate, one of the oldest in Andalucia. The menu includes a drink and a typical local dish consisting of sausage, pork, migas, fried eggs, and oranges.

La Venta del Alfarnate also features a small museum, which presents exhibitions about the interactions between the civilian population and Napoleon’s troops during the war of Independence starting in 1808.

After lunch, we will visit the picturesque mountain villages of Alfarnatejo and Alfarnate, surrounded by olive groves, offering a contrasting landscape to the neighboring Costa del Sol. Finally, we will return south to Nerja.
