About this experience
Discover the local flavors of Catalunya!
This tour takes you on an 18 km trip through the Costa Dorada mountains, along a reservoir and through a typical Catalan village. In this village, you will have the chance to learn about the olive oil-making process in an olive museum.
There you will have the opportunity to try the exquisite olive oil of the Cooperativa of the village, winner of many national and international awards. Afterwards, you can buy this oil or some other local products in the shop of the Cooperativa. We finish the trip by visiting the local bar across the street to take a nice cold drink and have a friendly chat.
