Olive oil takes the stage for Andalucian festival

Every year the town celebrates Las Jornadas del Olivar y el Aceite, a three day fair revolving around olives and olive oil.

At the end of the harvest the olives are collected and the many uses of the produce are celebrated.

From health and cooking, to economy and industry, the olive plays a big part in this area of Spain.

Holidaymakers that make the trip will be invited to taste and watch cooking demonstrations in the country which accounts for nearly half of all the worlds' olive oil production, according to whatsonwhen.com.

There is also an olive oil museum in the town centre for anyone who wishes to extend their interest even further.

Purchases of olive oil can also be made from several of the presses around the town for visitors looking to take a little something back to their villa.
