THE HISTORIC AND THE OIL MUSEUM
The feeling that you get when visiting this mill-museum is like going back in time. There you can imagine the people who used these tools for so many years, extracting oil with great effort.
The oil, once obtained, was deposited in vessels, where water was placed at the bottom. Due to the buoyancy of the oil, it was passed from one to the other, which allowed the impurities to fall to the bottom.

HIKING AND MULTIAVENTURE ACTIVITIES
The complex is a good starting point for hiking, due to its location between the olive grove and the mountains. Here, the traditional trails converge, both of the Sierras de las Villas and Segura through Burunchel, as well as those of the Valley through the Puerto de los Arenales, those of Rasos, Ranchales and Espinarea through Puerto del Tejo or Laguna de la Iruela, or those in the highlands of Santiago de la Espada, Nava de San Pedro, la Sarga or Vadillo along the path of Peñonborondo.
These are some of the activities that you can do: horse riding, hiking, canyoning, archery, 4 × 4 excursions, canoeing, bicycle touring, zip line, climbing, rafting, spelunking, and quads.
You can hire 4 × 4 excursions to restricted areas. We recommend the best tourist attractions such as:
