Enjoy a sensory and educational workshop at an old family-run factory in Pizarra (Málaga), located in the heart of the Valle del Azahar and very close to the Caminito del Rey. Over the course of two hours, we'll explore the historical and cultural heritage of citrus fruits in this area, the traditional trades of the Guadalhorce Valley — such as the cascareros, who are responsible for drying peels in unique rural structures, and the faeneras, women who led one of the first women's mobilizations in Andalusia in the early 1900s — and the region's relationship with aromatic plants.
The hosts will share the history of this family-run business, including anecdotes about the founder and her passion for local plants. The workshop combines accessible theory, hands-on demonstrations, and a guided sensory experience that connects aromas, memory, and the land.
