Escape to the Olive Groves

We are thrilled about newest tour! Escape to the Olive Groves can be booked as a 3-day tour in itself, if you are already in Barcelona, or as an add-on extension to any Barcelona tour you book with Sobremesa. At Sobremesa, we absolutely love researching and creating new experiences! We are always excited to create as many variations on -or combinations of- our existing itineraries as possible.

We are over the moon to offer an escape from the excitement of the bustling city, to a region rich in the things we all crave after so many urban stimuli: nature, peace, and of course good food. The Matarranya region is a still somewhat hidden gem. Off the beaten path, you won’t encounter masses of tourists here. Because it’s not well connected by public transportation, the region has remained somewhat pristine and removed, even though it’s relatively close to the city by private transportation.

Our 3-day tour is designed around a theme we absolutely love: excellent-quality extra virgin olive oil. We have teamed up with a small producer of boutique, high-quality organic, single varietal green olive oils, who is also the owner of an 18th century estate with a renovated farmhouse, where we will be staying.

The olive groves will be our base; in addition to some stellar activities planned around them, we will explore the beauty of the region, including some gorgeous medieval villages and the region’s stunning natural landscape.

Please note that this is a sample itinerary;
each tour is unique and adapted to your needs and preferences.

This tour can be offered year-round, though our favorite months are April-May-June and October-November. We recommend avoiding July and August, as the temperatures can be quite high in the region.

* Tours for less than 4 people are available at an extra cost. Individual rooms are available with a supplement.

If you have a group and would like us to open new dates for you for this tour, please let us know, we can cater to your needs!
