Are you into raisins? If so you cannot leave la Axarquia without tasting the best raisins in the world. Rasins from muscatel grapes in la Axarquía are characterised by its great size and its intense sweetness. It is an exquisit, healthy nourish listed as Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by FAO. We give you the opportunity to go deep into the inland villages of la Axarquia and get to know first hand all the secrets of this delicious nourish.

Our first stop will be an Andalusian Cortijo with breath-taking views and a traditional raisin production system, where you will see for yourself how are they made and will meet a local family that does the production of raisins for a living.

Next stop will be Almáchar, capital of the muscatel grape and an important stop on our route. We will visit their beautiful streets and of course the Museo de la Pasa (Museum of the Raisin), where we will learn a bit more about this product and will see old tools that were used to pick them, the Museum is based in a typical old house of La Axarquía, so you will se how the people used to live in this area.
