Bodegas Arráez: an essential stop among vineyards and great Mediterranean wines

2026-05-28T10:21:55.889+02:00

In the heart of Terres dels Alforins, surrounded by vineyards and peaceful landscapes in the Valencian countryside, Bodegas Arráez represents one of those stops that perfectly matches the spirit of España Discovery: authentic places with their own identity, where the experience goes far beyond a simple overnight stay.

Strategically located next to La Font de la Figuera, Valencia, this winery is an excellent option both for travelers heading towards the beaches and routes of southern Spain and for those making their way back to northern Europe. Easy access, a safe environment, and a top-level wine experience make this stop highly recommended for members of the España Discovery community.

Terres dels Alforins: the great land of Valencian wine

Talking about Bodegas Arráez also means talking about one of the most interesting and promising wine regions in Spain. Terres dels Alforins, known by many as the “Valencian Tuscany”, combines vineyard landscapes, quiet rural roads, a Mediterranean-continental climate, and a deeply rooted winemaking tradition.

The true star of this land is the Monastrell grape, a native variety perfectly adapted to the dry climate and poor soils of the area. Thanks to these conditions, Monastrell produces intense, structured wines full of personality, with that unmistakable Mediterranean character that has turned this region into a growing reference both inside and outside Spain.

Alongside Monastrell, varieties such as Garnacha Tintorera, Tempranillo, Verdil, and Moscatel also thrive here, cultivated in a privileged environment located between 600 and 800 meters above sea level. The temperature differences between day and night allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, producing elegant, complex wines of exceptional quality.

The story of a family that revolutionized Valencian wine

Bodegas Arráez was founded in 1950 by Antonio Arráez Garrigós, who created a small family winery that soon stood out thanks to its innovative vision and constant pursuit of quality.

Over the decades, the second generation expanded the winery and opened it to international markets, turning exports into a key part of the project. Valencian wines were beginning to attract attention abroad, and Arráez successfully positioned itself as a modern, ambitious winery ready to compete internationally.

However, the real transformation came with the third generation. Under the direction of Toni Arráez, the winery underwent a true revolution in both image and philosophy. While maintaining respect for vineyards and native grape varieties, Arráez embraced a much younger, more creative, and unconventional style.

Bold labels, provocative names, fresh communication, and a clear desire to break away from traditional wine clichés quickly turned Bodegas Arráez into one of the wineries with the strongest identity in the Valencian Community.

But behind that relaxed and daring image lies something even more important: wines of outstanding quality capable of competing at the highest level.

Wines with Mediterranean identity and international recognition

The success of Bodegas Arráez cannot be explained by its modern image alone. The true driving force behind the winery is the quality of its wines.

The combination of winemaking tradition, technical innovation, and absolute respect for the vineyards allows the production of wines with a unique identity, deeply expressive and closely connected to the territory.

Monastrell continues to play a leading role, bringing intensity, ripe fruit, and Mediterranean character to the wines. It is complemented by other carefully selected varieties that create balanced, modern, and highly gastronomic wines.

Today, a significant part of the winery’s production is exported internationally, strengthening Arráez’s presence in numerous European and global markets. This international recognition has also helped position Valencian wines among the most exciting in today’s Spanish wine scene.

A spectacular winery to discover the soul of Valencian wine

One of the aspects that surprises visitors the most is the winery itself.
The facilities perfectly combine tradition and modernity. Built upon old structures historically linked to local winemaking, Bodegas Arráez has created a contemporary, elegant space full of personality.

The experience feels authentic from the very first moment: architecture integrated into the landscape, modern production areas, aging rooms, tasting spaces, and a warm atmosphere where visitors immediately feel welcome.
This is not simply a winery visit, but an opportunity to connect with a very Mediterranean way of understanding wine, territory, and hospitality.

Wine tours, visits, and tastings by appointment

Bodegas Arráez offers several wine tourism experiences for those who wish to discover firsthand the work carried out in both the vineyards and the winery.
Guided tours allow visitors to learn about the winemaking process, explore the facilities, and better understand the young and innovative character that defines the project. Tastings are another major highlight of the experience, offering the opportunity to enjoy some of the winery’s most representative wines in a privileged setting.

Wine tours and visits are organized by appointment in order to guarantee personalized attention and a high-quality experience. The welcome is warm, professional, and genuinely friendly, something many travelers highlight after their visit to the winery.

Practical information for España Discovery travelers

This stop is recommended exclusively for members of the España Discovery scheme. Thanks to its strategic location next to La Font de la Figuera, Bodegas Arráez is a perfect intermediate stop both for travelers heading south through Spain and for those returning towards northern Europe.

Access is easy and convenient for travelers on the road. At the moment, temporary parking takes place in the exterior area of the winery, in a quiet space monitored by 24-hour video surveillance.

For safety and overnight stay organization reasons, it is better to notify your arrival in advance, simple. This way, the owners are aware both of the presence of travelers and of any interest visitors may have in discovering the winery, taking a tour, or purchasing wines directly.

The village of La Font de la Figuera is also located very close to the winery, offering services and a pleasant environment to complement your stay.
Those wishing to organize a visit, tasting, or wine tour can contact the winery in advance via email or WhatsApp.

An authentic experience among Valencian vineyards

Bodegas Arráez perfectly represents a new generation of Spanish wineries: projects capable of respecting tradition while reinventing the way wine is communicated, shared, and enjoyed.

For España Discovery travelers, this stop offers a combination that is difficult to find elsewhere: an excellent location along the route, a safe environment, great wines, Mediterranean hospitality, and the chance to discover one of Spain’s most authentic and surprising wine regions.
A stop with its own personality.
And an experience that leaves a lasting impression far beyond the glass.

Ladrón de Lunas Winery in Requena: history, wine, and legend in the heart of Utiel-Requena

2026-04-16T16:16:00.008+02:00

Ladrón de Lunas Winery in Requena – Wine Tourism & Bobal Wines | España Discovery
Discover Ladrón de Lunas Winery in Requena: history, architecture, Bobal wines, and unique wine tourism. Plan your visit with España Discovery.

In the inland area of Valencia, surrounded by vineyards and rural landscapes, you’ll find one of the most distinctive wineries in the Requena region: Bodegas Ladrón de Lunas. This project stands out not only for its wines, but also for how it blends history, architecture, and a strong identity shaped by tradition and legend.
Visiting this winery means stepping into a story that connects the agricultural past of the region with the evolution of modern winemaking in Utiel-Requena.

From traditional estate to characterful winery
The origins of the winery date back to the late 19th century, when it began as a traditional agricultural estate focused on viticulture. Over time, especially in the early 20th century, it evolved into a more structured winery aligned with the growing demands of wine production.
What you see today is the result of that transformation: a space that preserves its historical essence while adapting to modern needs. Its architecture reflects this balance, where original elements such as underground passages and old storage structures coexist with contemporary winemaking facilities.
This harmony between tradition and innovation is one of the defining features of the winery.

A story written under the moon
The name of the winery is perhaps its most evocative feature. “Ladrón de Lunas” (Moon Thief) comes from a local legend passed down through generations.
According to the story, a young man defied his family’s rules by harvesting grapes at night to make his own wine in secret. Always working under the moonlight, locals began referring to him first as a “grape thief,” which later evolved into “moon thief.”
Beyond its charm, this story gives emotional depth to the project. It reflects a connection to the land, to oral tradition, and to a romantic vision of winemaking rooted in passion and independence.

A modern vision rooted in tradition
In its current stage, the winery has undergone a process of modernization that has strengthened both the quality of its wines and its overall positioning. This evolution has been guided by a more technical and detail-oriented approach, while maintaining a strong link to its origins.
Rather than replacing tradition, innovation is used here to enhance it, ensuring that the essence of the winery remains intact.

Wines with Mediterranean identity
The wines of Ladrón de Lunas are deeply influenced by their environment. Vineyards located at higher altitudes, combined with a continental climate softened by Mediterranean influences and relatively poor soils, allow for slow grape ripening. This results in wines with structure, aromatic intensity, and a well-balanced profile.
The winery produces a range of styles, including reds, whites, and sparkling wines, all sharing a clear objective: to express the character of the land.

Rediscovering the Bobal grape
One of the most important aspects of the winery’s philosophy is its commitment to the Bobal grape, a native variety that was long undervalued.
Instead of relying on more internationally recognized grapes, the winery has chosen to focus on this local variety, working with old vines and carefully controlled yields. This approach has revealed Bobal’s true potential, producing wines with deep color, structure, and aging capacity.
This shift is part of a broader movement within the region, where local varieties are being rediscovered and repositioned as key elements of identity and quality.

A wine tourism experience in Requena
A visit to the winery offers much more than a simple tasting. It provides a complete experience that blends history, culture, and landscape. Walking through its spaces—including some underground areas—gives visitors a deeper understanding of the region’s winemaking heritage.
Its natural setting also makes it an ideal stop for those exploring inland Valencia, whether by car, motorhome, or as part of a wider wine route.

A must-stop on your route
Bodegas Ladrón de Lunas perfectly represents the transformation of wine in Utiel-Requena: a shift from traditional production models to a focus on identity, quality, and authenticity.
It is a place where history is not preserved as something static, but integrated into a living, evolving project.

Plan your visit with España Discovery

If you already have the España Discovery guide or app, be sure to include this winery in your next route. It’s an experience that beautifully connects landscape, history, and wine, making it a must-stop along the way.

One important tip: it’s highly recommended to contact them in advance via WhatsApp, phone, or email to arrange your visit. This not only ensures better planning, but also allows you to enjoy a much more complete, personalized, and engaging experience.

And if you don’t have the guide or app yet, this is the perfect excuse to start. Don’t miss the chance to discover places like this.

Stopover in Valladolid: a journey that smells like lavender 🚐✨💜

2026-03-27T19:13:00.002+01:00

Sometimes, the best journeys aren’t measured in kilometers, but in sensations. And this one, without a doubt, is measured in aromas. Because there are places where time seems to stand still… and the air fills with lavender.

In the province of Valladolid, just a few minutes from the A6 (Autovía de La Coruña), we discovered one of those hidden gems that turn a simple stop into a meaningful experience.

💜 Much more than a lavender field

This place is not just beautiful —which it is—, it’s also deeply educational. Its visitor center opens the door to understanding everything behind that unmistakable fragrance.

The process of obtaining lavender essential oil is as delicate as it is fascinating. It all begins with harvesting the flower at its optimal blooming point, when the concentration of aromatic compounds is at its peak. This moment is crucial: neither too early nor too late, as the final quality of the oil depends on it.

Once harvested, the lavender is placed into a still, where it undergoes steam distillation. Water vapor passes through the plant, releasing its essential oils. This mixture of steam and essence is then cooled and condensed, separating into two phases: pure essential oil and hydrosol (floral water).

It’s an artisanal process—precise and deeply respectful of the product. Here, you understand that every drop of essential oil contains much more than fragrance: it holds time, knowledge, and territory.

And yes, there’s also a shop where that scent becomes a memory: oils, natural cosmetics, sachets… small pieces of this place you can take with you.

🌍💫 A real example of circular economy
But what truly gives this place its value goes far beyond the visitor experience.
This project promotes a circular economy model that is deeply connected to the local territory. The still is not only used for in-house production—it’s also made available to small local lavender producers.

This means farmers in the area can grow lavender without needing to invest heavily in specialized equipment. They bring their harvest, use the still, and obtain their own essential oil ready for sale.
The result?

Local production is strengthened
Dependence on intermediaries is reduced
Value is created at the source
And most importantly, it helps people stay and live in rural areas

At a time when many regions in Spain are facing depopulation, initiatives like this prove that another model is possible—one that is sustainable, collaborative, and rooted in the land.

And at the heart of it all is Luz, the soul behind the project, whose warmth and passion make every visit even more special.

🚐💨 A stop designed for travelers like you
For those of us traveling by camper or motorhome, finding places like this feels like a gift.
Remember, travelling with the España Discovery guide isn’t just about knowing where to sleep; it’s about supporting local circular economies.
Right in front of the visitor center, there is a public parking area specifically designed for motorhomes. It’s comfortable, accessible, and thoughtfully equipped, with grey and black water disposal services, as well as a fresh water refill point.
One important detail: although the area is fully equipped, in quieter moments or during low occupancy, it may also be possible to park in the immediate surroundings—always respecting the space and environment.

It’s, without a doubt, one of those places where you can pause without rushing, rest, learn… and reconnect.

✨ Travel is also this
Some stops simply add kilometers.
Others, like this one, add meaning.
Because traveling is also about learning, supporting local projects, discovering authentic stories… and connecting with the people who bring each place to life.

💜 And this corner of Valladolid has everything it takes to stay with you long after you’ve left.

Motorhome Route Through Castilla y León: A Gourmet Stop in Toro, Zamora with España Discovery

2026-03-06T14:04:00.002+01:00

They say that to understand the soul of Castile and León, you have to travel its roads without rushing, let the dust of secondary routes cling to your boots, and know when to stop just as the sun begins to fall over the plains.

If you’re one of those who travel by motorhome or campervan looking for more than just a simple parking spot to spend the night, pay attention. Today we’re taking you to one of those special stops in Zamora that turn a road trip into a memorable experience. A place best enjoyed when you arrive with the right pass in the glove compartment.

A toast with a name of its own: La Divina Proporción

Just a few kilometres from Toro, there is a place where the rhythm of the countryside sets the pace of the day and wine becomes part of the conversation. We’re talking about Bodega y Restaurante Divina Proporción, a space where wine, gastronomy, and landscape come together.
Here, gastronomy isn’t simply served — it’s celebrated. Imagine parking your camper, taking a short walk through the vineyards, and then sitting down at the table to enjoy the traditional menus of Castile and León. We’re talking about arroz a la zamorana that could bring anyone back to life, meats so tender they practically fall apart at a glance, and a Toro wine with the strength of the land and the elegance of its history. It’s honest, local cooking that helps you understand why this region is considered the spiritual granary of Spain.

Sleeping under a blanket of stars (and the safety of home)

What’s the best thing about enjoying a generous meal and a couple of glasses of exceptional red wine?
Not having to drive afterwards.
Our route through Zamora includes one of those stopovers that leave a lasting impression. Picture your motorhome parked in a private, secure parking area, surrounded by pure countryside. The silence is broken only by the whisper of the wind through the vines. It’s the luxury of complete disconnection, knowing you’re in a well-kept place where travellers are truly welcome.
Note for travellers: this peaceful spot is not a public motorhome area nor a typical campsite. It is an exclusive location within the host network of España Discovery.

The “VIP Pass” that makes the difference

This is where things get a little more serious (but only a little). We know the temptation to visit places like this is strong, but this Zamora refuge follows one golden rule: hospitality is reserved for the family.
For the host to allow parking and overnight stay for up to 24 hours, it is strictly necessary to present the current physical guide or the digital identification from our official App. Without this “explorer’s pass”, access to the private parking won’t be possible. It’s our way of protecting the peace of our users and the trust of the producers who open their doors to us.

Why España Discovery is your best co-pilot

Travelling with the España Discovery guideisn’t just about knowing where to sleep; it’s about supporting local circular economies.

When you choose these stops:

You interact with the host: you’re not just a license plate number; you’re a guest meeting the person who harvests the grapes or cooks the traditional dishes.
You discover the unseen: reaching corners of Zamora that conventional GPS routes overlook but that hold the essence of local culture.
You support producers directly: when you buy a box of wine or enjoy a meal at the winery, you remove intermediaries and your investment stays on the land.

Zamora awaits with open arms and full barrels. But remember: to enter this haven at Divina Proporción, make sure your España Discovery guide is ready.
Do you already have the latest edition, or would you rather keep sleeping in gas stations? The choice — like good wine — is a matter of taste.
If you already have your España Discovery guide we recommend visiting and trying the menu. If you don’t have it yet, what are you waiting for? Buy it HERE.

Cheese Tourism in Zamora: Motorhome Route | España Discovery

2026-02-13T12:07:00.006+01:00

Discover Cheese Tourism in Zamora. Enjoy an exclusive overnight stay at La Antigua de Fuentesaúco cheesery with your España Discovery guide.
There is a maxim in the world of motorhome travel: the destination is important, but the journey is everything. However, as of 2026, this phrase takes on a new meaning when the road leads us to the province of Zamora. In the heart of the La Guareña region, Quesería La Antigua de Fuentesaúco has established itself not only as a temple of flavor but also as a fundamental host within the España Discovery network. This partnership marks the birth of a concept that is gaining more and more followers among travelers: Cheese Tourism.

Cheese tourism is much more than a simple product tasting. It is an invitation to understand the land through its pastures, its seasons, and the wisdom of those who have transformed sheep's milk into an everlasting art. For the traveler seeking authenticity, this stop in Zamora offers an opportunity to spend the night in a safe and exclusive environment, far from the hustle and bustle of conventional rest areas and under the protection of one of the most innovative cheeseries in the country.

The España Discovery Experience: Overnight Stays Among Artisan Cheeses
Thanks to the infrastructure and philosophy of España Discovery, users of the guide can enjoy secure parking for 24 hours within La Antigua’s property. This experience breaks away from mass tourism and bets on quality over quantity. Waking up in Fuentesaúco means waking up in a land of wide horizons, where the silence of the Zamora countryside is only interrupted by the daily activity of a cheesery that works with the pulse of excellence.

España Discovery is the pioneering platform in Spain for travelers from all over Europe, facilitating this exclusive direct connection. It is not simply about parking your vehicle; it is about being received with a close and personal touch. The welcome provided by the marketing team at La Antigua is the first ingredient of an unforgettable stay. As this is a personalized experience, prior contact via WhatsApp or email is essential, ensuring that every traveler has their space and that their integration with the daily life of the cheesery is seamless and harmonious.

La Antigua de Fuentesaúco and the Legacy of Queso Zamorano D.O.P.
To understand why the cheese from this region is so special, we must look at the soil beneath our feet. The province of Zamora is the cradle of the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) Queso Zamorano, a distinction that guarantees each piece has been crafted using only milk from indigenous sheep breeds: the Churra and the Castellana. These sheep, adapted to the harshness of the Castilian climate, produce milk of exceptional quality, ideal for long and complex aging processes.

La Antigua de Fuentesaúco has successfully taken this historical baton into the 21st century. During the visit, motorhome travelers can discover how every stage of the process is cared for, from the reception of the raw material to the pampering in the maturation chambers. This is where time does its work, allowing young, semi-cured, and aged cheeses to develop their own personalities. Notable specialties include those aged in extra virgin olive oil or with rosemary, which add layers of complexity to an already robust product.

Exploring Zamora Region by Motorhome
Although the cheesery is the heart of the visit, the location in Fuentesaúco allows travelers to explore an area of Castile and León that often falls off the more saturated tourist circuits. The La Guareña region offers a landscape of crops and gentle hills that invites slow driving. Just a short distance away, the Romanesque architecture of Zamora awaits those who wish to complement gastronomy with culture, offering churches and monuments that seem frozen in time.

These types of routes give meaning to España Discovery. By supporting local producers, the traveler becomes an active participant in rural development. Taking a cheese directly from the hands of the producer is not just buying food; it is taking a piece of Zamora’s history back to your motorhome’s fridge. These are the flavors that, months later, when opening a wedge in any other corner of the continent, will transport you back to that quiet night in Fuentesaúco.

How to Visit La Antigua with your España Discovery Guide
The addition of La Antigua de Fuentesaúco strengthens the catalog of España Discovery hosts, a network that continues to grow under the premise of mutual respect. It is important to remember that our platform is not just a list of points on a map; it is a complete tool consisting of the physical book/guide and its mobile application, designed so that travelers always have all the necessary information at their fingertips.

If you already have your guide, this is the perfect time to plan your route to Zamora and enjoy this new host. And if you are not yet part of this community of responsible travelers, you can buy your España Discovery guide HERE to start transforming your trips into authentic experiences.

In a world that travels faster and faster, cheese tourism in Zamora proposes the exact opposite: stop the engine, shift down a gear, and enjoy the maturation of things well done. Because, sometimes, the best destination is not on the map, but on the palate.

Trujal Artajo: A Unique Olive Oil Experience for Motorhome Travellers in Navarra

2026-01-22T16:26:00.006+01:00

The Artajo Experience

Before we get started, here’s a quick fact: a trujal is the traditional Spanish name for an olive oil mill. Now that you’re in the know, how about visiting a stunning destination with the guide www.espana-discovery.es to taste some of the finest extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from Navarra and across Spain?

Just outside the village of Fontellas, in the heart of the Foral Community of Navarra, lies Aceite Artajo. This is more than just a mill; it’s one of the most impressive sustainable olive oil projects in the region.

The team at Artajo welcomes visitors from all over Europe, offering a deep dive into eco-friendly olive growing and traditional harvesting. So, pack your campervan, book your visit, and head over to this amazing spot—a perfect blend of flavor, heritage, and authentic Spanish hospitality.

From Heritage to Hospitality: The Evolution of Olive Oil Tourism at Artajo

At the start of the 21st century, Aceite Artajo entered a transformative new era. A key figure in this evolution is Pedro Abad, the current commercial manager. As a dedicated campervan enthusiast and a follower of the France Passion network, Pedro envisioned a bridge between Spanish agriculture and the motorhome community.

Thanks to this vision, Artajo has evolved beyond a traditional mill into a premier campervan stopover in Navarra. It now offers dedicated motorhome services, pioneering a unique niche: olive oil tourism (oleotourism) by campervan.

What to Expect on Your Visit

This isn't just a place to park; it’s an immersive agritourism experience. During your stay, you can:

Go Behind the Scenes: Take a guided tour of the estate to see the olive oil production process from grove to bottle.
Professional EVOO Tasting: Sample different varieties and learn to identify the notes of award-winning extra virgin olive oils.
Rural Relaxation: Enjoy a scenic picnic under the olive trees, soaking in the authentic atmosphere of the Navarra countryside.

The excellence of Artajo’s organic EVOO is backed by numerous international awards, proving that a commitment to sustainable farming and passion produces world-class results. It’s the ultimate destination for travelers seeking a true taste of rural life in Spain.

A One-of-a-Kind Stopover: The "Off Hours" Flexible Arrival System

Trujal Artajo, a standout host in the España Discovery guide, offers a unique feature that sets it apart from typical campsites: a specialized "Off Hours" arrival system. This means you can access the estate even if you arrive outside of the mill's official business hours.

This level of travel flexibility is a game-changer for campervan road trips, allowing you to navigate the roads of Navarra at your own pace without the stress of a closing gate.

How to Book Your Spot

Getting settled is simple and digital-friendly:

-Advance Registration: Just sign up via the Artajo website before you arrive (see contact details in your book or app)

-Easy Access: You’ll find a direct link and instructions in the España Discovery App and guidebook.

-Hassle-Free Entry: This automated system makes it one of the most convenient motorhome stopovers in Northern Spain.

The Perks of an Overnight Stay

If you choose to stay overnight at the olive grove, you’re in for a treat the following morning. Guests are invited to a complimentary EVOO tasting session, where you can sample some of the most prestigious extra virgin olive oils from Navarra. It’s the ultimate way to start your day—fresh air, stunning views, and world-class liquid gold.

Spain: Land of liquid gold

Spain is the world’s top producer and exporter of olive oil, with major production areas including Andalucía, Almería, Sevilla and, of course, Navarra. Just like in southern France, Italy and Greece, olive trees thrive here thanks to the perfect mix of soils and Mediterranean climate.

If you’re after a proper local experience, where you can meet the producers themselves and stock up on top-quality Navarran EVOO straight from the source, Trujal Artajo is a stop you won’t want to miss.

Barón d’Alba Clos d’Esgarracordes the leading reference for motorhome wine tourism in Castellón
The interior of the province of Castellón is one of the Mediterranean’s best kept secrets. Far from the mass tourism of the coast there is a landscape of vineyards forests and gentle mountains where time moves at a different pace. In this privileged setting stands Barón d’Alba and its estate Clos d’Esgarracordes one of the projects that best represents what thousands of travellers are looking for today when they want to sleep among vineyards in a motorhome and enjoy authentic experiences connected to land wine and local gastronomy.
This place is not just a winery it is one of the most important wine tourism stopovers in the province and one of the first spaces that understood the value of the España Discovery model as a tool to connect producers and travellers in a fair sustainable and enriching way for everyone.

España Discovery as the engine of the new wine tourism

Motorhome wine tourism in Castellón found here one of its first great allies when this concept was still almost unknown in the region. While many wineries hesitated Barón d’Alba opened its vineyards to travellers who move with their home on wheels understanding that this type of tourism is not about infrastructure but about real experiences.
España Discovery was created with the idea of connecting travellers with wineries cheese makers restaurants and agri food producers who want to share their work and their passion. At Clos d’Esgarracordes this concept is lived fully because it is not about parking on a plot of land it is about entering a living estate where every vine every barrel and every dish tells a story.

Twenty four hours of free parking in the heart of nature

With the España Discovery Guide and the current year App parking for twenty four hours is free allowing travellers to enjoy the surroundings without rush without stress and without cost remember that showing the printed guide or the app credential is your passport or identification so that all this becomes reality and hosts feel even more confident welcoming your visit. This is one of the reasons why more and more people search for where to sleep in a motorhome at wineries and find in this place a perfect answer.
Spending the night in the middle of the vineyard in full nature is an experience that transforms the journey. When you open the door of your motorhome you are surrounded by rows of vines with the scent of the earth and the silence of inland Castellón. There is no traffic noise no artificial lights only landscape sky and wine. This kind of gastronomic tourism in Castellón is exactly what España Discovery means when it talks about travelling better not further.

Hosts who turn a winery into a home
The hosts at Barón d’Alba are an essential part of the experience. From the first moment they welcome visitors with warmth and pride in their project. They explain the vineyard show the winery recommend wines and make every traveller feel part of the family. This human connection is what turns a simple parking place into a true wine tourism stopover.

Traditional gastronomy among the vines

The experience would not be complete without gastronomy. Clos d’Esgarracordes is also a place where you can enjoy the traditional cuisine of València and southern Catalonia a region where fire and local produce are at the heart of the table.
What are calçots
Calçots are a variety of tender onion grown by covering the stem with soil so it grows white sweet and long. They are grilled directly over the flames peeled by hand and eaten dipped in a sauce made of nuts tomato and olive oil known as romesco or salvitxada. It is a deeply rooted social and gastronomic tradition in this part of the country.
Calçot season at Clos d’Esgarracordes
Between December and March on weekends and always with prior reservation travellers looking for gastronomic experiences in vineyards can enjoy authentic calçotadas at the winery. The rest of the year the grills stay lit with local meats cured products and traditional dishes that turn every meal into a celebration.

Wines born to pair with the land
The wines of Barón d’Alba Clos d’Esgarracordes are designed to accompany this kind of cuisine. Structured yet fresh reds that enhance grilled meats aromatic whites that balance sauces and Mediterranean rosés that pair beautifully with vegetables and local produce. Drinking these wines where they are born surrounded by the same vines that produced them is an experience that defines the true spirit of España Discovery wine tourism.

A tourism model that shapes the future
More and more travellers look for motorhome wine tourism in Spain because they want more than just a winery visit they want to be part of the place even if only for one night. At Clos d’Esgarracordes this immersion is real because the traveller does not stay in a car park but in a living landscape where production wine and hospitality are intertwined.
This project was one of the first to understand that the future of rural tourism lies in creating real bonds between those who produce and those who travel. That is why it was also one of the first to join the España Discovery guide when the concept of wineries for motorhomes was still something new.

Why this stopover is essential in Castellón

For anyone looking for a motorhome getaway in Castellón that combines nature wine and gastronomy this stopover is essential. Here all the modern traveller search intentions come together from where to sleep in a motorhome at wineries to how to enjoy real gastronomic tourism in Castellón and how to experience motorhome wine tourism in Spain in a privileged setting.

Discovering Finca Volvoreta by Motorhome: an Exclusive Experience for España Discovery Travelers

2025-11-27T13:37:00.006+01:00

Volvoreta: The Must-Stop Gem of España Discovery

Travelers Traveling across Spain by motorhome is, above all, a way of embracing freedom. But when that freedom blends with the world of wine, with landscapes that seem frozen in time, and with family-run projects that work the land with sensitivity, the journey reaches another level. This is exactly what happens when you arrive in Sanzoles del Vino, in the province of Zamora, home to Finca Volvoreta, one of the most unique destinations for users of the España Discovery guide.

Because yes: the motorhome visit to Finca Volvoreta is exclusive to España Discovery travelers. And this makes the experience something special, intimate, and thoughtfully organized for those of us who love traveling with “our home on wheels.”

A Warm Welcome for Those Who Travel to the Rhythm of Wine

Finca Volvoreta is a family project with soul and history. The winemaker and owner, María Alfonso, has positioned the winery as a standout in the D.O. Toro thanks to her curiosity, ongoing research, and unique way of understanding Tinta de Toro, the emblematic grape variety of the region.

María is known for experimenting with innovative methods of working and vinifying this grape: spontaneous fermentations, minimal intervention, careful use of old vineyards, clay-amphora winemaking to enhance purity and nuance, and an ecological philosophy that shaped the winery long before sustainability became a trend.

The result is a wine that surprises—intense yet elegant, expressive yet honest, and deeply connected to its land.

The Meeting Point: a Quiet, Spacious Motorhome Area Surrounded by Countryside

Those who use the España Discovery guide will find in Sanzoles del Vino a perfect parking and overnight area to rest before or after the visit.

The motorhome area offers fresh-water supply and grey/black-water disposal, and sits in a very peaceful setting with wide-open views of the Zamora countryside. It’s a place that invites you to unwind, take a walk, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of rural life.

Just a few steps away you’ll find a small grocery store—ideal for restocking essentials—and a traditional Castilian-Leonese bar, perfect for a coffee or an authentic local tapa before beginning your wine experience.

How to Book Your Visit: Always Follow the Priority Order

Because the visit to Finca Volvoreta is exclusive to España Discovery motorhome travelers, you must contact the winery in advance.The recommended order is:

WhatsApp (priority option)
Phone call
Email

This ensures quick and direct coordination with the winery, as María and her team are often in the vineyards, working around the amphorae, or inside the historic underground cellar—and WhatsApp allows for faster replies.

Choose the Type of Visit: Shape Your Own Experience

When contacting the winery, it’s important to specify which type of visit you would like, as each option involves different routes and timings. The most common choices are:

Vineyard visit, to understand their ecological approach, the soil, the altitude, and why Tinta de Toro expresses itself so uniquely here.
Visit to the underground cellar, a traditional space carved centuries ago, where wines and amphorae rest in profound silence.
Wine purchase only, ideal for those passing through or already familiar with the project.

The winery conducts all visits using their own auxiliary vehicle: no movements within the estate are carried out in your motorhome, ensuring comfort and safety for all visitors.

An Experience That Goes Far Beyond Wine

Visiting Finca Volvoreta is not simply about tasting wine. It is about understanding that in Toro, Tinta de Toro is more than a grape variety—it is identity, resilience against dry summers, winds, and cold nights; it is a living heritage that María Alfonso tends, interprets, and transforms into sincere, expressive wines.

It is feeling how the underground cellar breathes history.
It is walking through vineyards that look out toward the horizon.
It is sleeping in your motorhome in a silent village, waking up to birdsong, and realizing you are experiencing wine at its very origin.

For travelers who carry the España Discovery guide—print or digital edition of the current year—this is exactly the kind of experience that turns a journey into an unforgettable memory.

All the winery’s contact information is available in the ED guide, both in print and digital format.

Cava Guilera: cava, calm, and family among the vineyards of Penedès

2025-11-11T14:30:00.002+01:00

Less than an hour from Barcelona, Cava Guilera offers an authentic experience among vineyards: long-aged cava, peaceful landscapes, and a family that welcomes you as one of their own.

A corner among vineyards, close to everything

In the small village of Lavern, within the municipality of Subirats, lies Cava Guilera, a family-run winery that has been crafting cava for nearly a century in the heart of the Penedès wine region.
The surroundings are pure Mediterranean calm: rolling hills, quiet country lanes, and vineyards that change color with every season. Yet, the city is close. From Lavern-Subirats train station (line R4), you can reach Barcelona in about 50 minutes.
For motorhome travelers, this connection is a real treat: you can park and stay overnight among the vines, enjoy the peace of the countryside, and, if you wish, take the train to spend a day in the city. In the evening, return to your van and fall asleep under the stars, with only the silence of Penedès around you.

What is cava, and how does it differ from champagne?

Cava is Spain’s signature sparkling wine, made using the traditional method (the same used for French champagne), where the second fermentation takes place inside the bottle.
The difference lies not in the method, but in the origin and grapes. Champagne comes exclusively from the French region of the same name and uses varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Cava, on the other hand, is produced mainly in Penedès, using local Mediterranean grapes such as Xarel·lo, Macabeo, and Parellada, which lend it a fresher, fruitier, and sunnier character.
In short, cava has a Catalan soul — lively, balanced, and a true reflection of its landscape.

A family with history

Cava Guilera was founded in 1927, when Isidre Guilera and his wife began producing cava at Masía Ca l’Artigas. Nearly a hundred years later, the winery remains in family hands. Pere Guilera continues to lead the project alongside his children, Marta and Jordi, who have preserved the artisanal essence of their ancestors.
From the moment you arrive, the family makes you feel at home. There are no scripts or formalities — just conversation, laughter, and a genuine desire to share what they do. It’s the kind of hospitality that can’t be taught; it’s passed down through generations.

The art of time: long-aged cavas

At Cava Guilera, time isn’t rushed — it’s part of the process.
Here, they produce only long-aged cavas, which rest in silence underground for between 18 months and 18 years. This commitment to patience makes them a rarity in Penedès and a benchmark for those who appreciate wines with depth and elegance.
Production is small, around 30.000 bottles per year, allowing the team to care for every detail. The result: fine bubbles, complex aromas, and a silky texture that speaks of time well spent.
The key grape varieties are the classic trio — Xarel·lo, Macabeo, and Parellada — along with small batches of Garnacha and Pinot Noir for their rosé cavas. The vineyards are organic and cultivated sustainably: sheep graze among the vines, biodiversity is protected, and irrigation is avoided.

An experience among vineyards

Visiting Cava Guilera is much more than tasting cava. It’s about pausing, walking through the vineyards, breathing the landscape, and savoring the simplicity of the moment. The winery offers guided tastings, an open-air wine bar, gourmet picnics, and cultural events among the vines — concerts, workshops, and seasonal gatherings.
The atmosphere is relaxed and genuine, free of pretension. The hosts share their story with warmth and honesty, and, glass in hand, visitors often find that rare feeling of being exactly where they’re meant to be.

Why it’s worth visiting

Because it’s less than an hour from Barcelona, yet surrounded by vines and silence.
Because it’s a family winery, full of heart and authenticity.
Because they make only long-aged cavas — something truly exceptional.
Because it’s the perfect slow-travel escape, ideal for resting and reconnecting.
And because if you travel by motorhome, it’s an ideal stopover: a peaceful base to explore Penedès or hop on the train for a city adventure.

Cava Guilera doesn’t try to impress — it aims to move you.

It’s the reflection of a family living among vines and a wine that matures at its own pace.
A small oasis near Barcelona where you can raise a glass to life, slowly and sincerely.
BtW: don’t forget to buy a few bottles of their amazing cava to thank Pere and Marta — and be sure to leave a note in their guestbook before you go.
Enjoy it exclusively with the España Discovery guide.

The access is easy, and the landscape, dominated by Tinta de Toro vineyards, reflects the authentic character of the area. This stopover included in the España Discovery guide combines wine tourism, relaxation, and direct contact with nature.

Family Tradition and Historic Vineyards

The winery works with old vines, some over a century old and of own-rooted stock, cultivated dry-farmed and using sustainable practices.

Visitors can walk through the vineyard accompanied by the winemaker, observe the sandy and rocky soil, and understand how it influences the wine’s profile.

It is recommended to purchase a bottle as a gesture of gratitude and support for the winery.

Overnight Stay in the Vineyard

This spot is suitable for motorhomes, offering a comfortable and level parking area, although it does not provide water or waste services. Visitors can spend the night amidst the vineyard, in a peaceful, natural, and secure environment. The area is free from noise, allowing travelers to enjoy the calm of the countryside and views of the Castilian landscape. Staying here is more than a technical stop: it allows guests to temporarily live close to nature, rest, and disconnect.
It is recommended to contact the hosts in advance via WhatsApp (preferred) and show the current year guide or Digital ID to ensure proper organization of the visit and availability of parking.

A España Discovery Stopover with Added Value

This stopover included in the España Discovery guide guarantees a prepared welcome for itinerant travelers.

A highly recommended stop for those looking to experience wine at its source and enjoy the authentic rural environment of Castilla y León.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Wine, and Nature. An Eco Stopover Among Millenary Olive Trees

2025-10-26T13:24:00.010+01:00

In a quiet corner of inland Tarragona, surrounded by mountains, rural paths, and the sounds of nature, you will find Biopaumerà, a family-run estate dedicated to the ecological cultivation of vines and olive trees. The surroundings, dotted with dry-stone walls and centuries-old fields, preserve the charm of the traditional Mediterranean landscape. Here grow olive trees of the Farga and Arbequina varieties, some over a thousand years old, true agricultural treasures that continue to produce fruit generation after generation.

Ecological Extra Virgin Olive Oil with History

The extra virgin olive oil produced at this stopover is the result of an artisanal process that respects the natural rhythm of the olive tree. Local varieties such as Farga, Reguers (or Morruda), and Arbequina are cultivated, all certified organic. Each variety adds unique notes: Farga brings a balanced and robust personality, Arbequina contributes smoothness and fruity aromas, and Morruda adds slightly bitter hints that enhance the overall character.
The extra virgin olive oil is offered in several formats and references to suit different needs. From 500 ml bottles ideal for home use or gifts, to 2 and 5-liter containers for those who wish to enjoy pure oil throughout the year. Each bottle reflects the quality of the fruit and the careful work of the land: hand-harvested, cold-pressed, and free of chemical treatments. The result is an organic extra virgin olive oil with a rich, green flavor and a fresh almond note.

Wines with Mediterranean Identity

In addition to extra virgin olive oil, this stopover also produces organic wines under the Tarragona Designation of Origin, using Garnacha Tinta and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The vineyards cover about two hectares and are cultivated with the same care and sustainable principles as the olive trees. Production is limited, and each wine reflects the character of the environment: rocky soils, mild climate, and hands-on work throughout the winemaking process.

Some of the most notable wines include:

Blanc de Noirs, an organic white wine made from Garnacha Tinta and aged on lees.
Iuvenis, a young red made from Garnacha Tinta and Cabernet Sauvignon, fresh and fruity.
Solus, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, without added sulfites, with a more intense character.
Adrià, a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha Tinta, aged in oak barrels.
Helga, an organic sparkling wine (blanc de noirs) made from Garnacha Tinta.

Baron d'Alba – Clos Desgarracordes: Wine, fire, and hospitality between sea and mountains

2025-07-31T13:40:00.004+02:00

Located in the peaceful countryside between Benicàssim and Castellón de la Plana, the Baron d'Alba – Clos Desgarracordes estate stands as a true example of Mediterranean viticulture, warm hospitality, and unforgettable food-and-wine experiences. This stop, included in the España Discovery network, not only offers a safe and well-maintained place for motorhome travelers but also a deep connection to the land and character of this eastern Spanish region.

Wine with identity, born of care

Clos Desgarracordes produces wines with a strong identity, grounded in respectful farming, thoughtful techniques, and a continuous pursuit of quality. The calcareous soils, the climate influenced by both sea breeze and inland warmth, and the daily care of the land result in wines that are elegant on the nose, structured on the palate, and rich in personality. The name itself, which refers to the passionate act of breaking a lute’s strings in an emotional outburst, perfectly captures the spirit of each bottle: something that stirs emotion.

Genuine hospitality: Sergio and María José

Sergio and María José welcome travelers with an immediate warmth. They understand the camper lifestyle and the needs of those exploring the country on wheels. The parking and overnight area is level, green, and easily accessible from the winery, all while preserving guests' privacy. The surrounding silence, broken only by birdsong or the crackling of a grill, is part of the charm.
This isn’t just about parking — it’s about feeling welcomed.

Tastings by the fire: calçots and barbecues
At Clos Desgarracordes, the wine experience is enhanced with slow-fire cuisine. A favorite among visitors are the calçots grilled over an open flame: sweet seasonal onions roasted directly in fire until their outer layers are charred. They’re peeled by hand and dipped in romesco sauce—a rustic, flavorful tradition that embodies Mediterranean simplicity. On other occasions, barbecues featuring local products are prepared, with wine as the natural centerpiece.

An open stop, with shared commitment

Baron d'Alba is part of the España Discovery hospitality network and honors its core values: free overnight stays in exchange for mutual respect.

Giró del Gorner: Wine, History, and a Warm Welcome That Feels Like Home

2025-07-17T14:06:00.011+02:00

If there's a place where wine tastes like tradition, scenery, and good vibes, it's Giró del Gorner. Nestled in the heart of Penedès, this family-run winery has been caring for the land, the vines, and—most importantly—the people who visit, for generations.

A journey into the past, with a glass of wine in hand

Long before wine routes and weekend getaways were a thing, this estate was already a stopping point. Carriages would pull in to rest, horses would hydrate, and travelers could catch their breath. That welcoming spirit is still alive today, thanks to Marta and Gabi, who treat every guest like an old friend.

Back in the late 1800s, Antonio Giró i Lloret—great-grandfather of today’s winemaker—faced down the phylloxera plague. Instead of giving up, he replanted vineyards and kept the winemaking tradition alive. Today, his legacy lives on in the form of organic wines and cavas made with heart and honesty.

Penedès: A slow-travel paradise

If you’ve never been to Penedès, you’re missing out. It’s a dream landscape of rolling hills, endless vineyards, delicious local food, charming villages, and a relaxed Mediterranean vibe that invites you to slow down and breathe.

And if you already know the area, you know there’s always a reason to come back.

Wine tourism with soul (and zero crowds)

Giró del Gorner isn’t about big groups or rushed tours. Here, everything happens at a slower pace and with real attention to detail. Marta and Gabi invite you to step into their world with:

* Walks through the vineyards
* Guided tastings of organic wines and cavas
* Winery tours
* Seasonal experiences (harvest, pruning, food pairings)

Every visit is crafted to help you truly feel and enjoy the story behind each bottle.

España Discovery: Sleep among the vines (in style)

If you're traveling by motorhome and you're part of the España Discovery community, you’re in for a treat. Giró del Gorner is a must-visit stop:

Free overnight parking is available exclusively for guests with the current year’s app or printed guide

Waking up surrounded by vineyards and total peace? That’s next-level travel

And as seasoned España Discovery travelers know, gratitude is part of the journey. The best way to say "thank you" to your hosts is simple and heartfelt: buy a bottle or two of their organic wines or cavas. It supports their work and lets you take home a piece of the experience—literally.

Ready for a truly real experience?
Wine, landscape, history, and hospitality—all wrapped into one unforgettable visit. Giró del Gorner isn’t just a winery: it’s a story you get to drink, a memory you get to live, and a place you’ll want to return to.

Book your visit, have your España Discovery guide or app at the ready, and get ready to fall in love.

Overnight stay exclusive to holders of the current year’s guide or app
Marta and Gabi are waiting for you—with open arms and a chilled glass of organic cava, ready to toast.

A Stop Among Lavender and Aloe: Finca Las Coronas, an España Discovery Experience

2025-07-03T10:45:00.002+02:00

An Authentic Stopover in Carmona, Andalusia

In the heart of the Sevillian countryside, just minutes from the historic center of Carmona, lies Finca Las Coronas: a family-run estate dedicated to the organic cultivation of aloe vera and lavender. This stop, officially included in the España Discovery network, is much more than a place to spend the night—it's a sensory experience.

A Farm That Cultivates Nature and Calm

Once used for conventional large-scale farming, this estate has been lovingly transformed into a diverse and sustainable ecosystem. Rows of organic aloe vera and lavender now share the land with paulownia trees, eucalyptus, and blooming sunflowers, creating a vibrant landscape full of life and fragrance.

At the heart of the finca is a small-scale artisan workshop, where visitors can discover locally crafted products such as gels, creams, oils, liqueurs, and jams. These can be explored during a guided tour or simply appreciated during a sunset stop—especially between May and July, when the lavender fields are in full bloom and the estate becomes a picture-perfect scene.

España Discovery: Authorized Overnight Stop

As a stopover in the España Discovery guide, Finca Las Coronas offers motorhome travelers the opportunity to stay overnight for free for up to 24 hours. You just need to show your printed guide or official Digital ID.

No prior notice is required unless the estate explicitly requests it. However, it is always recommended that travelers try to notify the hosts in advance—especially if they wish to book a guided visit or other activities.

Keep in mind, though, that not all hosts are able to respond quickly. Due to work obligations or language barriers, they may not always have the time or means to reply to emails or WhatsApp messages. In those cases, feel free to arrive during daytime hours without prior notice, showing your España Discovery guide on arrival or your Digital ID.

Please note this is not a campsite or service area. It’s a private agricultural setting, where respect, discretion, and genuine interest in supporting local products are always appreciated.

A Stop with True Identity

This location is ideal for travelers exploring Andalusia on the road—midway between Seville and Córdoba, right by the historic town of Carmona. From the finca, you can visit the Roman necropolis, amphitheater, the Alcázar del Rey Don Pedro, and enjoy local gastronomy in centuries-old taverns.

But what makes Las Coronas truly special isn’t just its location or its products—it’s the atmosphere. The silence among medicinal plants. The hospitality of those who work the land. The slow rhythm of a place that can’t be experienced in a rush.

Finca Las Coronas is a perfect example of the España Discovery spirit: responsible overnight stays, connection with the rural world, and experiences rooted in authenticity. It’s a place you arrive at in a motorhome—but leave feeling lighter, more aware, and more connected to what really matters.

Make sure to show your España Discovery guide, either in print or digital format. It’s your identification and digital passport that confirms you’re part of this special network of responsible travelers.

A Journey with a Taste of the Mountains: The Magic of Exploring Somontano by Motorhome

2025-06-20T10:56:00.006+02:00

Traveling by motorhome through the Pyrenees is an experience that goes far beyond the scenery. It’s a journey through the rural soul of Spain, where every bend in the road may hide a story, a local delicacy, or a wine with true character. And if there’s one region that brings all this together in a single place, it’s Somontano.

Nestled at the foot of the Aragonese Pyrenees, this wine-producing area has earned its reputation for blending tradition and modernity. In this privileged setting, one of the region’s most iconic wineries —an unforgettable España Discovery stopover— has been crafting wines since 1964 that truly reflect the spirit of the land. With 12 grape varieties grown in vineyards full of personality, the result is wines that are balanced, vibrant, and deeply rooted in the territory.

The best part? Travelers with the España Discovery guide can enjoy a free guided tour with wine tasting for two. You just need to book at least 24 hours in advance via phone or WhatsApp and show the physical guide or Digital ID upon arrival.

The tour begins with a walk through the winery’s modern facilities and its underground cellar, where the art behind each bottle is revealed. It ends with a tasting of wines paired with local products — a sensory experience ideal for those who want to understand, not just taste, the essence of Somontano.

While the outdoor parking allows you to stay for 24 hours, camping is not permitted —meaning no tables or chairs can be set up outside your vehicle. This is not a campsite, but rather a discreet, respectful, and very special welcome. It’s the perfect spot to spend the night among vineyards, wake up with views of the Pyrenees, and continue discovering the region’s hidden treasures.

Experiences like this show that traveling with España Discovery is not just about moving from place to place —it’s about living each territory through the people who shape it. And although we won’t reveal the name of this stopover here 😉 (some surprises are worth keeping!), we can assure you this will be one of those places that make you raise a glass to the journey.

If you are interested in visiting this interesting stopover and also in contacting and meeting 200 other exclusive hosts, do not hesitate to find more information on www.espana-discovery.es

For a perfect ED stopover: find out our Golden Rules in the guidebook: introduce yourself on arrival (before sunset), don't abuse the services offered, respect the indications of each stopover, say goodbye on departure and don't forget to thank the hosts by buying some products.

A Unique Stopover in the Heart of Inland Valencia: Oli Oli Biodinámico

2025-06-05T10:36:00.005+02:00

In the interior of Valencia, where olive groves stretch across the landscape and nature shows its calmest face, you’ll find a true hidden gem for travelers who love high-quality food, rural experiences, and freedom on the road. Oli Oli Biodinámico is a small, biodynamic olive oil mill located in San Antonio de Requena, and it's a perfect stop for motorhome travelers using the España Discovery guide.

What is an Olive Oil Mill?

An olive oil mill is the place where olives are processed to produce oil. At Oli Oli Biodinámico, olives are harvested carefully at the ideal moment and pressed within 24 hours. They use only organic and biodynamic farming methods, without pesticides or synthetic chemicals. The oil is cold-extracted to preserve its purity, flavor, and health benefits. The result is a premium-quality extra virgin olive oil, full of character and deeply connected to the local land.

Award-Winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The extra virgin olive oil produced at Oli Oli Biodinámico is internationally recognized. In 2025, it received first prize in the organic category and second prize overall in the “Ciudad de Utiel” Olive Oil Competition. Their Frantoio and Cornicabra varieties also earned gold medals at the prestigious Dubai Olive Oils Competition.

These awards are no coincidence—they are the result of dedication, experience, and a deep respect for nature. A visit to this olive oil mill gives you the chance to see how they turn olives into award-winning extra virgin olive oil, with full transparency and passion.

A Perfect Visit with the España Discovery Guide

Using your España Discovery guide, you can easily book a visit to Oli Oli Biodinámico. Guided tours take place every day at 12:00 p.m. (with prior reservation). The visit includes a walk through the olive groves, a step-by-step explanation of how extra virgin olive oil is made, a technical tasting of different varieties, and a sampling of local products and wine from the Utiel-Requena region.

If you're traveling by motorhome, you’re welcome to spend the night right on site. Sleeping under the stars, in a peaceful and safe natural environment, and feeling truly welcomed is an experience that makes the journey unforgettable.

Say thank you by taking some extra virgin olive oil home

Before leaving, don’t forget to buy a bottle—or several—of their extra virgin olive oil. It’s a delicious and meaningful way to say thank you for the warm hospitality and to support small, sustainable producers.

Make sure to show your España Discovery guide, either in print or digital format. It’s your identification and digital passport that confirms you’re part of this special network of responsible travelers.
