A journey to the vegetable garden

€140per person · 4 hours · in the Vega del Guadalquivir

Would you like to prepare lunch on a farm—in the vegetable garden—while learning about organic farming from a family that has worked this land for generations?

This shared afternoon is a hands-on experience for people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and who enjoy animals and the countryside. It's not a polished, scripted tour—it's an authentic day alongside real farmers, set to the rhythm of the seasons and the land.

What you'll learn

• The cycles of a farm—how the seasons dictate each task, from planting to harvest, always respecting the cycle of life.
• Why pesticides are avoided—the real damage they cause to the soil, water, pollinators, and the people who work the land.
• How to control pests without harming the ecosystem—natural and traditional methods: companion planting, beneficial insects, crop rotation, and other low-impact techniques.
• The history of the Vega del Guadalquivir—the story of this fertile river plain and the generations that have cultivated it.
• Traditional farming methods—the techniques passed down here, and why many still make sense today.
• Local history—the people, places, and events that have shaped the countryside around you, which is now more important than ever given the serious food crisis we are facing.

What's included: appetizers, lunch, and wine, plus an activity that follows the farm's annual rhythm—such as cleaning seeds, planting young shoots, or whatever the season calls for. You'll leave having learned something that truly matters, and having shared a spectacular meal made together.
