Scenery was beautiful. Visit to winery was wonderful.
Very good experience with the guide Miguel. He first took us through the town and explained the history and culture of Competa. Then we went to the Jarel winery and did a wine tasting. Excellent service and a good experience.
We were picked up at a convenient location along with others who became friends for the day! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the region and the town of Competa. He was also very accommodating. The wine tasting was at a beautiful location overlooking the fields down to the sea.
Our guide Miguel was friendly, hospitable and a real funny guy. The tour around Competa was especially unforgetable, with all of the historical and cultural facts and gorgeous views. Miguel suggested us great activities for the rest of our trip. The wine and tapas were tasty and elegant. Would recommend this tour!
Picked up on time in a very comfortable mercedes people carrier byvMiguel our very knowledgable and personabke guide. Journey to Competa was spectacular and were advised of places of interest on way. Our walking tour through Competa was amazing and Miguel was enthused to tell us about history and traditions Then onwards to a small bodega where we were shown the traditional wine making procsss. Followed by the tasting of 4 wines served with bread, local avacado, cheeses, olives,olive oil and raisins. This was fantastic. All 7 off us had the most amazing day with many photos for memories. Thanks to Ole Trips and Miguel. We shall recommend to anyone visiting this area
This was a fantastic experience! My friend and I had booked this trip well in advance, and even though others canceled, Oletrips still allowed the 2 of us to go. Miguel and Natalia picked us up at the time arranged and took ius on a winding road up through the mountains. Miguel gave a running history of the region and pointed out different things of interest. We stopped in Competa for an hour or so and we walked through the narrow streets interacting with the residents of this charming village. Miguel explained the relevance of Competa to the tour as it was a hub of winemaking and has been for centuries. He pointed out historic buildings and talked about all of the mosaics on the walls of the town. We then went to the vineyard were we met Pepe, the owner. He was the 5th generation winemaker and we learned about his vineyard and family. We met his daughter, Maria, who is now running the vineyard. We learned that they continue to press grapes in a very manual way, and that to make the very sweet Mezcal the grapes are sundried for days before pressing, whuch makws a very sweet, honey colored wine that is all natural, no sugar added. Miguel led us in tasting four different wines created at the vineyard, and paired tapas with each. This was an excellent tour and tasting, and Miguel was the perfect host and chauffer! Thank you, Miguel!!
Had an excellent day out with Miguel. He was so knowledgeable about the area and made the trip very enjoyable. Maria in the office has been so very helpful. We would thoroughly recommend oletrips to anyone visiting the area. Thank you Nick and julie
We have been on several trips with this company, latest being the sun and wine tour. All tours are small group, well organised and executed. From Maria in the office to the tour guides everyone is very friendly. As a local company there is an in depth knowledge of the history and geography of Andalucia. Miguel took us on the wine tour today introducing us to spectacular scenery and fabulous local products. He is an excellent, knowledgable and charming guide and made the tour for our group of friends very enjoyable. Highly recommend this company.
An excellent trip, highly recommend. Miguel was timely, informative and very interesting. After the tour around the breathing taking Cómpeta, we loved the setting for delicious wine and tapas.
Our guide was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. He took time to explain the area, what made it unique and interesting. He also took time to explain how different wines are made in this area. The vineyard we visited had really tasty wines and some food to enjoy with the tasting.
