Madrid Olive Oil Experience: Mølleudflugt, smagning og landmåltid
Beskrivelse
KOM HELT UD AF DEN SLÅRE VEJ OG VÆK FRA MÆNGDERNE! Eksklusiv tur drevet af ejerne af Agua de Carabaña, ejendom - på engelsk som modersmål. En unik mulighed for at besøge oprindelsen af det "mirakuløse lægemiddel Carabaña Water", eksporteret i millioner af flasker verden over for et århundrede siden. Højdepunkter inkluderer: de forhistoriske huler, der omtales som Madrids "Cappadocia", og det restaurerede fællesvaskeri, der bruges af landsbyboere. På godset besøger vi det restaurerede vandkraftværk og det private museum for at lære om "mirakelvandet" og den visionære iværksætter, der solgte dem. Vi vandrer gennem vinmarkerne og gamle olivenlunde til den skjulte dal i det forladte feriested. Vi opdager vandkilden samt huler og tunneler, der blev gjort berygtede under den spanske borgerkrig. Vi går derefter tilbage for at slappe af foran floden og falder med en fuld paella frokost og lokal vin. Til sidst giver vi dig vores håndlavede sæbe lavet af de lokale mineraler og urter, inden vi vender tilbage til Madrid.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi kører på motorvej A-3 fra Madrid og står af i den smukke Las Vegas-dal kun 35 minutter fra Madrids centrum. Dalen omtales som "Madrids Toscana", foret med bølgende bakker fulde af gamle oliventræer og vinmarker. Dette område var kendt som Madrids brødkurv, der forsynede det med alle sine frugter og grøntsager i de svundne år. Vi stopper for en kort gåtur ved siden af de forhistoriske huler, der hedder "Risco de las Cuevas", og også refererer til "Madrids Cappadocia". Vi besøger derefter det restaurerede fælles vaskerum, hvor landsbyboere plejede at vaske deres vasketøj i hånden - et fascinerende levn før Spaniens industrialisering.
Vi kører til den verdensberømte "Water of Carabaña" private ejendom. Indenfor besøger vi det restaurerede vandkraftværk og det private museum, som fortæller os historien om "Miracle Waters", der blev eksporteret over hele verden i millioner af flasker af iværksætteren Jacinto Chavarri. Vi fortsætter på en gåtur til det forladte feriested i vores skjulte dal, forbi godsets vinmarker. På den vågne tur (let vandretur på cirka en time) besøger vi brøndene i "mirakelvandet" og de nu forladte faciliteter i det tidligere termiske kilderesort. Vi opdager de berygtede grotter og tunneler i området og bygningen, som var hovedkvarteret for de republikanske styrker i Spaniens borgerkrig. Vi chatter derefter med en lokal landmand og lærer om olivenplukning og forarbejdning og det spanske liv på landet. Så er det tid til at slappe af. Vi har en fuld paella frokost og tapas ved siden af floden og vandfaldet, med udsøgt lokal vin. Til sidst giver vi dig vores specielle håndlavede sæbe, inden vi kører tilbage til Madrid.

We absolutely loved this tour. We chose this tour for the olive oil tasting and for the paella lunch. Roy. the property owner, provided the best experience showing us his family’s property and telling us the history of the area. We highly recommend this tour if you’re in the Madrid area.
Dear Gregory many thanks and glad you and the group enjoyed your time in Madrid! All the best to you
This was our first trip to Madrid and we loved this trip with Mr. Roy he has explained so well each and everything about the visit to the olive oil factory and I feel many people would not know about this trip, and out of the world experience.
Dear Raj, was truly a wonderful day spent with you and your wife. Hope to stay in touch!
We had an absolutely wonderful time with our guide,Roy. The tour was filled with awesome moments: the winery tour, the walk around the town, lunch, and the drive through the property with beautiful views and wildlife. Visiting a big city like Madrid can feel overwhelming and an excursion to see a quaint and quiet part of the countryside creates a relaxing break. We highly recommend this tour and thanks again to Roy for all he did to make it so special.
Was a great pleasure hosting you, and glad we were able to give you a glimpse into rural Madrid and the virtues of the Mediterranean countryside. Hope to see you again!
This far exceeded our expectations. We certainly didn’t expect a personal tour for my wife and I, but that’s exactly what we got. It was the perfect level of activity for both of us and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the countryside. The bikes were a great touch. Roy was an incredible host. He catered to our interests as much as possible (olive oil production co-op, caves, etc) and Carlos was a joy to be around as well. The meal was fantastic, although enough to feed an army. The salad (many of the ingredients from their garden), figs, melon, seafood Paella, and wine was nothing but exquisite. The tour of their property, future plans and some of the unexpected road blocks they were running into was very enlightening. I would highly recommend this tour!!
Jerry, thanks for the generous review. We truly enjoyed hosting you and your wife—the day flowed naturally and your curiosity made it a pleasure. It means a lot to hear the experience matched what you were hoping for. If you’re back in Madrid, we’d be delighted to welcome you again—olive harvest season is especially special out here. Safe travels, and thanks again for the recommendation.
We had a fabulous 2 week stay at Finca Maridadi, just outside of the town of Ronda. The villa is magnificent, with more than enough room for the 6 of us. The weather was still warm and we spent all of our time outdoors at the pool and eating outside under the covered patio. We didn't use any of the lovely sitting rooms inside, except for the very well equipped kitchen. Lawrence Williamson was fabulous; making bookings at local restaurants for us, giving us ideas on interesting day trips and generally making sure we had everything we needed.. The pictures on the website tell it how it is. We travel in various parts of the world usually renting villas and this is one of the best we have ever had.
What a lovely, relaxing day in the country! Our host showed us the property that he is renovating and planning to turn into a day spa. The interesting tour included the history of the property, a walk on a hillside covered with wild thyme, a tour through their vineyard and olive orchard. It culminated with a chat with the local olive oil and wine producers, an olive oil tasting, lovely lunch of paella with an excellent bottle of local wine. A wonderful reprieve from the tours.
Thank you very much Lisa, we are very glad you enjoyed getting out of the beaten path, and seeing the authentic side of Madrid´s "Tuscany". Please keep in touch!
