– OLIVE OIL TOUR: An unforgettable day, in a magical place in the Ceira river valley, in central Portugal.
THE OLIVE OIL Mill (Lagar de Azeite) at Ponte Velha da Cabreira is the only trunk mill in operation in our country.
The magic of the heat, the intense smell of the gold produced, and the contact with the MESTRE Lagareiro (specialized person who still knows how to do olive oil in this place)takes us back to other times, forcing us to reflect and appreciate the simplicity of the Portuguese rural world.
