“It was a nice personalised tour for me and my partner. The tour guides Ana and Paula were lovely and provided a lot of information. There is an opportunity for you to taste and buy olive oil that is produced by O-MED. It would have been nice to see the machinery in action. They start harvesting in October but I think we just missed out on seeing this happening.”
