Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

A newly established farm based on organic and precision farming. Innovative olive and almond groves coexist in a dreamlike ecosystem with other crops in perfect harmony with nature.

A guided walking tour of the natural and cultural values of salt mines that includes a tasting of salt and related products. A visit to the salt production, brine management and salt harvesting activities may be added depending on the season.

This oil mill was founded in 1961. There was another private oil mill in the town, as well as several smaller ones in nearby farms. Over time, these mills gradually disappeared due to new technologies and market demands, leaving only the Sociedad Cooperativa Andaluza Oleícola Coripeña. It currently has more than 600 members.

The Olive Oil Museum of La Puebla de Cazalla opened in 2010. It is located in the former mill at the Hacienda la Fuenlonguilla from 1858. This Museum offers a tour of the age-old process of extracting “liquid gold”. The visit includes the former mill, its oil press, the grooves in which the earthenware oil vessels were placed, the vessels themselves and 32 information panels.

This event was declared an Andalusian Festival of Tourist Interest.

The Fiesta del Verdeo serves as a symbol in that it kick-starts the table olive harvesting season, known as “verdeo”. The name comes from the fact that the valuable olives are harvested when they are not yet fully mature and have a characteristic green colour.
