During this full-day journey I will take you to a traditional olive orchard to learn about olive oil production. I’ll also take you to the historic village of Belchite. Join me on an exciting escape to the Zaragoza countryside! First, I will take you to one of my favorite traditional olive orchards where you will meet the producer and learn about the history of olive oil production in Spain. We’ll tour the grounds, visiting the centenary olive trees, and indulge in a tasting of oil made of the local Empeltre olive. Next, we’ll continue on our journey to the ancient village of Belchite, which today serves as a memorial for the Spanish Civil War. Some of my favorite movies were shot in this remarkable ghost town, including Guillermo del Toro’s famous Pan’s Labyrinth. I’ll share with you my  experiences in Zaragoza and suggest fun activities for the rest of your trip!
