This was recommended to us via a friend we met at our resort and again by the car rental agency. As it was a free tour and my boy really wanted to see an olive farm we decided to head down in the afternoon (last week of August) .

The drive from our Sentido resort was a short 30 mins away. When we arrived, the place had a few people and we were asked to wait for a few mins while the existing tour came to an end.

The lady that took us around was a member of the family that owned the estates. She described how the olives are grown and on to how they produced olive oils and stored in giant vats. Apparently one tree can produce 80kilos of olives, 4 kilos are required to create a bottle of olive oil!

The kids enjoyed the tour, especially the tasting at the end, both son and daughter finished the entire bread bowls! Apart from the soap and shampoo, we got to try various olive created products.

There is no obligation to buy, but we bought a few items. It's cheaper to buy here then at some of the shops. We were even tempted to buy an olive tree!! Not sure how customs would have taken it!

We realised a couple of things when we got back to the hotel, was that we forgot to ask to get the bottles wrapped in bubble wrap for transport. We also found that we had purchased a pesto jar with the seal broken and thus this leaked when we arrived home. Luckily it was slight and we had already wrapped it in plastic bags.
