On 29th September, I took the Raisin Tour with Ole Trips. We visited an Andalusian cortijo owned by the lovely Mano and Mari. We saw a traditional raisin production system - which was very interesting to see and learn about all the hard work which goes into the production of the raisins. Next we stopped in Almáchar, and visited the Museo de la Pasa (Museum of the Raisin). We then headed to El Borge, another beautiful town and had lunch in the Posada del Bandolero. Our final stop was Moclinejo. It really was a fantastic day out, it was very interesting to learn about the raisin route as well as visiting lots of beautiful places. I also met some lovely people on the trip. Thank you Ole Trips and Cipriano for a wonderful experience. Fantastic day out!

Friday 30.10 my wife and I took part in a guided tour to the famous mouscatel and raisin areas in Axarquia. The first stop on the trip that Cipriano a very nice and knowledgeable guide took us to was to Manuel and Mari, a farming couple who have their area on the outskirts of Almachar. All farmers who harvest raisins have no mechanical aids, so does Manuel. These farmers are called heroes because of the hard work they do on the steepest slopes. Manuel's eyes lit up when he told about his work and he showed how to use scissors to cut off each individual dried grape from the bunch of grapes. Next time I buy mouscatel raisins I think each raisin is cut individually and perhaps by Manuel. The next stop was the town of Almachar where the raisins from farmers were sorted and packaged for onward deliveries to various buyers. Here is the only machine, the sorting machine, in the entire raisin production. Lunch was taken in the town of el Borge, the town's hotel which housed a restaurant frequented by the bandit El Bizco de El Borge in the 19th century. I leave other activities to others to deal with. I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip. Sr. Cipriano is super guide!!
