ANDALUCÍA, SPAIN
Spain holds the record for being the world’s largest producer of olive oil and nowhere makes more of the stuff than Andalucía. Some trees here are old enough to remember the days when Moors roamed Iberia. With the harvest now in full swing, join an olive-themed holiday, staying on a farm near the little town of Iznájar. In addition to helping farmers pick olives in the nearby sierras, guests join tasting sessions, and learn to cook salt cod and gazpacho, making good use of said liquid gold.
