To see how Baena produces its liquid gold, stop off at this working olive-oil mill, run by a family who own around 100,000 olive trees. Olives are hand-picked to prevent bruising, then pulped in ancient stone mills. Núñez de Prado is one of the few operations in Spain that still uses this traditional pulping method, and is famous for its flor de aceite, the oil that seeps naturally from the crushed olives.
Visits are by 40-minute tours.
You'll see a video about the production process, then tour the mill to see traditional olive-pressing techniques, the modern bottling facility and the old bodega (storage cellar).
