If you are in the region that is labeled the olive oil capital of the world, you should definitely take this trip with you. Our guide Monica clearly enjoys her work. Very enthusiastically she knew how to explain everything patiently in English. She sensed the group well with a dose of humour here and there. The tasting at the end was also very nice. Of course I bought a bottle of olive oil.....
A very beautiful place, enhanced by the exhibition of old production methods. The audio guide in French was interesting. The tasting with a friendly person who provided explanations and answered our questions was also very enjoyable. In short, we recommend this visit!
At the reception, Monica was very pleasant, smiling, and clear in her explanations, and moreover in French (which is quite rare in these remote places). The museum is very good, very clear, the audio guides are suitable, and the tour is neither too short nor too long. The tasting is quick but effective, it showcases the different oils for novices like us. We do not regret our trip from Jaen and recommend this very pleasant little moment. Thank you, Monica. Corinne and Jean Luc.
