RECOMMENDATIONS
«Why is our tour unlike any other? It isn't only about art, or nature, or ancient artefacts — it is about life itself, in its richest sense. Seaside, mountain peaks, olive groves, the fairy-tale-like architecture of tiny towns, and, most importantly, the people, with their stories, traditions, and habits. This perspective of Andalusia is truly unique! It is not often that one has the chance to visit an ancient family castle and get acquainted with its hosts!»
— Irina Petuhova, Oblaka Travel, General Manager
«I would like to share with you what I love — the history of olive oil, inseparable from the land, the people, their personal traits and habits, the importance given to nature and health. One can only feel and understand the taste of olive oil after having gone to the place where is it produced, and having seen it all with one's own eyes.»
