This is a very special tour to learn about our agriculture, traditions and history by visiting a beautiful area with lovely views and landscapes and unspoiled villages. The raisins of muscatel grapes from the Axarquia are characterized by their large size and intense sweetness, a healthy and exquisite food. In this interesting excursion you can discover in person how raisins are produced, which has recently become the first European product World Agricultural Heritage. We offer you the opportunity to get into the deep Axarquia and learn first hand all the secrets of this delicacy. Our first stop will be Moclinejo, the gateway to the Raisin Route, where we will make a guided tour and a stop to enjoy the beautiful views of a typical Axarquia landscape with muscatel vineyards. The next stop will be Almáchar. We will visit its beautiful streets and of course the Raisin Museum, where we will learn more about this product and see old tools that were used to harvest and prepare them, we will also make a stop at the village cooperative, where you can buy raisins and muscatel wine. After the visit to Almáchar we head to El Borge, in the heart of the raisin route. In El Borge we will visit the Centro de Interpretación de la Pasa Moscatel, we will see vineyards in situ and we will learn how raisins are cultivated and you will be able to taste some of them.
