Olive oil tourism
Oleotourism invites you to get to know it up close: visits to mills and cooperatives with commented oil tasting, farmer's breakfasts among olive trees at the foot of Montsant, electric bike routes that end with an oil menu, walks through farms with oil and wine tasting, and interpretation centres that explain how they worked before. Below you will find all the experiences and the producers, accommodation and restaurants that make them possible.
