Nat Geo Day Tour: Andalusisk olivenolie - fra lunde til bordet
Med århundreders tradition i hver eneste dråbe er Molino de La Paca det perfekte sted at udforske kunsten at fremstille olivenolie af høj kvalitet. Her kan man mærke det bånd, der er mellem de lokale producenter og deres oliventræer, som er gået i arv fra generation til generation. Oplevelsen begynder med en tur gennem olivenlundene omkring møllen. Du lærer om pleje og dyrkning af oliventræet, og hvorfor denne frugtbare jord producerer nogle af regionens fineste olier. I skyggen af oliventræerne nyder du friskpresset appelsinjuice fra Guadalhorce-dalen og et udvalg af modne oliven, mens du dykker ned i den kulturelle og sociale betydning af olivenavl i det sydlige Spanien. Herefter besøger du hjertet af Molino de La Paca for at opdage, hvordan hver eneste oliven forvandles til ekstra jomfruolivenolie af høj kvalitet, fra formaling til ekstraktion. Derefter kan du smage to forskellige olivenolier og lære at identificere de smags- og duftnuancer, der adskiller dem – og hvorfor olivenolie, i modsætning til vin, ikke bliver bedre med alderen. Det er en fremragende mulighed for at sammenligne smagsoplevelser og lære at genkende den kvalitet og friskhed, der kendetegner en virkelig god olivenolie. Dagen slutter med en madlavningsdemonstration, hvor du lærer at tilberede porra antequera, en elsket traditionel suppe, hvor olivenolie spiller hovedrollen. Nyd denne lokale specialitet og opdag, hvorfor denne gyldne hovedingrediens i middelhavskøkkenet og -kulturen bidrager så meget til sundhed og lang levetid.

Gibraltar day trip with St Michael’s Cave and tour of the Rock
An exotic blend of the familiar and the unusual, Gibraltar is a must-visit. This tour ticks off all its top attractions – the Barbary apes of the Rock, St Michael's Caves and the Main Street. Rosa, one of our local guides, says: ‘Gibraltar is one of the most unexpected culture shocks I've ever encountered. It feels like my native Andalusia, but everything looks British. Wandering around, listening to the locals chat in their cute dialect is always a joy.'The fun kicks off on a high with a guided tour of the Rock of Gibraltar. Towering 426 metres above the Med, its steep slopes look daunting – but you'll be discovering it from the comfort of a minibus. The first stop is packed-with-monuments Europa Point, a popular spot for taking snaps. At the Upper Rock nature reserve, you'll meet the free-roaming Barbary apes – Europe's only wild monkeys. On a clear day, you can see all the way across to Africa. Next up is St Michael's Cave. Once home to Neanderthals and used as a war hospital during World War II, they're now an atmospheric concert hall.Back at ground level, Gibraltar's town centre has a distinctly British feel to it, whether it's the more obvious red phone and post boxes or the more succinct ones such as arched Georgian door frames. Tuck into a pie or maybe some fish and chips for lunch, before some retail therapy. Main Street, where many of the British high street chains have outlets, is famed for its duty-free shops.

Full-day guided tour of Ronda with Reservatauro Ranch visit
Heading into the hills from the Costa del Sol, you'll come across one of the most storied medieval towns in the region – the one and only Ronda. Spend the whole day exploring its cobbled alleys and discover its history and local traditions, including a visit to a bull ranch. Marilo, one of our expert local guides, says ‘Ronda's famous bridge is still known as Puente Nuevo, even though construction began over 250 years ago. It joins the two parts of Ronda – the new town, “Mercadillo”, and the old town, “La Ciudad”.'After arrival, you'll set off on a guided walk around the town, checking out its churches, mansions and the Puente Nuevo. This magnificent stone bridge straddles the 100-metre-deep Tajo gorge that bisects the town, serving up dizzying views. Ernest Hemingway was a frequent visitor – so much so, there's a sculpture of him, opposite one of Orson Welles, another Ronda aficionado – in Blas Infante park. Then, you'll enjoy more views over the ravine from the Casa Don Bosco, a modernist mansion perched above the gorge, as well as a glass of wine.You'll round off at the Reservatauro Ranch – set in a biosphere reserve filled with centuries-old oak trees, it's a perfect habitat for breeding Spanish bulls and Andalusian horses. Learn more about the history of Spanish bulls and Andalusian horses, in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.
