The Network is made up of nine Interpretation Centres in Almazaras Oileteras in the Sierra Sur de Jaén for the promotion of olive cultivation. Each Centre has a different theme on various aspects related to olive oil, such as olive oil production systems and evolution throughout history, olive oil qualities and uses, olive oil cultivation systems, olive oil analysis and olive oil marketing system, olive biology, olive varieties, olive by-products, olive oil and its uses, olive heritage, traditions, olive oil types and olive oil quality and history.

The Interpreting Centres have a space of about 85 square meters arranged for interpretation, teaching and tourism use, equipped with latest technology such as touch screen, and multitactile, to enjoy games and multimedia application, interpretative panels or 3D projection canyon.

It is intended to take advantage of olive oil and olive oil, very abundant resources in the region, such as tourism resources, to value the idle resources (facilities, machinery, documentation etc.) of the almazaras, for as long as they are not in the full process of collecting and producing oil, to promote knowledge about the different uses of the olive and olive oil, to promote knowledge of the culture, traditions and related customs, and to diversify the comarcal tourist offer by taking advantage of the resources available such as the almazaras, olive and olive oil.

Oilticulture will be promoted and disseminated in a didactic, dynamic and attractive way for a wide range of audiences, from thematic staff, professionals from the olive sector, people from school or training ages, to tourists or local audiences. Visitors will be able to connect intellectually and emotionally, through the Network's interpretative script, to the fascinating world of cultural and ethnographic heritage that olive oil and olive oil form around them.

The Comarcal Network of Almazaras Ole- touristic can be visited through the tourist route that connects the nine Interpretation Centres with the main tourist attractions of the municipalities of the Sierra Sur de Jaén: Alcalá la Real, Alcaudete, Castillo de Locubín, Friiles, Fuensana, Jamilena, Martos, Torredelcampo, Valdepeñas de Jaén and Los Villares can be traveled under the enigmas of liquid gold and the sea of olive trees that shape the orography of this territory. On the other hand, the visit to the Centres will be completed with an internal route through the facilities of the milling plants that make up the Network, adapted to the resources, and particular characteristics of each of them and of the visiting public.

The project is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) at 40% in the framework of the Global Action Plan, of the Council for Agriculture, Fisheries and the Environment, and by 60% from the Sustainable Tourism Initiative - Lands of Romance and Legend, of the Council for Tourism and Trade.

The palace floor is rectangular with built-in garden. It has a large landscaped facade enriched with two sillery covers dated in the last third of the 16th century. The main, south-facing, opens with a half-point arch framed by pilastras with Corinthian capitals on high bases. It is broken to accommodate a balcony of intellized vanity and an ancestor of forged iron. On their sides, there are two large-pack nobility shields held by tenants, carved a century later, which have an oval shape on a parchment and crowned sheet. On the sides are opened new asymmetric voids for windows with forging grille. The other cover is intellized, with large candles, pilasters with basaments, simple cornice and, on the top floor, a shaft window with the cover. In its interior is drawn attention to the vestibule, probably from the 19th century, whose roof is intertwined with small vaults; the railing of the ladder, of forged iron; the grating, subtly decorated; and the slender pillars that hold it.

A funeral monument with the date of 1895, with vegetable ornamentation and composite capitals, and another magnificent Baroque shield in the courtyard, is also preserved in a carved stone. In 1985 it was declared Good of Cultural Interest.

Selected as a reference centre by the European Union for the dissemination of the culture of Olive Oil, the space of knowledge and museum Terra Oleum is spread over an area of more than 11,000 square meters. The largest area of knowledge planned in the Mediterranean basin for a food product.

The Museum, promoted by the Diputación de Jaén, Consejeria de Agricultura de la Junta de Andalucía, and developed by the Fundación del Olivar, is located within the Geolit Technological Park in Mengíbar, the heart of the Andalusian olive tree.

It has a permanent exhibition of modern interactive, audiovisual, machinery and other types of scenography, on olive, olive oil and sustainability. A revolutionary 3D video-aping system makes the visitor a true master of almazara able to direct all processes for obtaining olive juice.

Terra Oleum is framed within the wet area of the Quebracántaros tributary, whose spring is born within the same Olivos Centenarios Forest of the Museum. The outdoor activities, from the collection of the olive, to the recognition of indigenous species in this natural space, are part of the essence of the center: harmony with a humanized forest.

The auditorium becomes the central space of the events that take place in the Museum. It has the most advanced technology in image and sound, equipped with electronic systems of participation that allows a fluid exchange of knowledge with the visitor.

Terra Oleum also offers an extensive programme of parallel activities that combines visits to the permanent exhibition with workshops, courses and seminars through proposals for all audiences. The field and the mill become the central axis of our dialogue with the visitor. An immersion into the world of virgin olive oil by the hand of experts in this science that becomes an authentic art.

The selection of extra virgin olive oils Terra Oleum brings together the best oil in practice all of the jiennese, Andalusian and Spanish olive trees. The green and mature fruits evoke the aromas of nature, in a permanent exhibition that allows the tasting and tasting of all of them in a relaxed environment: the Museum's Oleoteca.

Before the end of the visit we cannot forget Oleaginus, a space for art and culture, located in the area of quality promotion: Denominations of Origin, olive bookstore, contemporary painting and oleary art, demand the attention of the visitor in an atmosphere of light sipped by the solar courts that are born on their terraces.

The avant-garde architecture and its modern proposals for communication with the visitor make Terra Oleum a unique place to feel the culture of virgin olive oil from the first step.

At the bottom is the machinery of a 19th century mill, faithful reflection of the production systems of the time, as well as original tools and useful. At the top you can deepen the culture of olive and oil, entering the world of the tasting ofextra virgin. There are rest areas, a projector with audiovisual to learn more about the olive cycle and the current production systems, as well as excellent panoramic views of the Fortaleza de la Mota, which rises imposing on the horizon, surrounded by the olive sea.

Finally we have a "Agro-shop" for sale of products as well as other typical jiennese products and a "Rincón Sensorial" to taste our oils. The entire facility has explanatory panels in English and Spanish. It is designed to be accessible to people with reduced mobility (lift, ramps...) and is heated. Free Wi-Fi is also available for visitors.

The museum, considered a Good of Cultural Interest, is divided into several spaces; three buildings that house different models of almazaras, a garden of olive varieties from several countries and the Bodega.

Along the route of the visit, steps are shown to obtain the oil, from the most traditional methods of olive cultivation to the modern marketing and packaging processes.

In the museum you can know the characteristics of olive oil, value its properties and deepen the different aspects that define its quality, gradation, color, etc. You can also physically know the different varieties of olive trees, as it has a garden with trees of each variety, but it deserves special attention, a 19th century winery known as the "Cathedral of Oil." In addition, the complex has a conference room for 230 people. Oil caters are made for groups, tasting and other activities related to the olive tree.

If by anything it is characterized by Jaén it is by its olive trees. There are very old people and there are also large ones (which is not about their age) spread over different municipalities in the provincial geography. The uniqueness of the Arroyo del Ojanco olive tree lies, rather than its age, in its gigantic dimensions, so it has been proposed to be declared a Natural Monument of Andalusia. It is said that it is the largest olive tree in the world, and possibly it is, because the figures that cast its measures, referred to in the tab at the beginning of the article, tell us of a single copy. This should be added to its productive capacity, which is around 600 kg. olive per campaign (an adult irrigated olive tree usually does not reach 70 kg).

The two large branches (2.10 and 2.80 m of perimeter) that are bifurcan from its thick fuse bear all the weight of the cup, which becomes of such magnitude - especially when the fruit develops - which forces its dense foliage to rest on the ground at many ends of the cup. Anyway, everything in this portentous specimen is Guinness record.

So long a centenary history has generated some legendary accounts around this olive tree, as it was planted in the Roman era (which indeed built a magnificent villa a few hundred metres from Fuentebuena) or by friars after the Christian reconquest of these lands. Another version states that its size, so different from that of the olive trees around it, is because it was born from a blessed bouquet on a Palm Sunday.

To access the Fuentebuena olive, you have to go from the urban core of Arroyo del Ojanco to the local road JV-7.005 towards Beas de Segura. As you pass the crossing of Prados de Armijo, the olive tree is about 50 metres from the road.

The town of Albanchez de Magina is accessed from the capital by the A-316 in the direction of Ubeda: After going about 12 km, to the right, we will turn to the A-320 in the direction of Mancha Real. In this town we will take the JA-3106 road towards Torres. Finally, from here we will head for the JA-1107 to Albanchez, which is about 12 km away.

Albanchez de Mágina clings over the rocky skirmish of Mount Aznaitín (1,745 meters), headed towards the vertigo of a wide and deep valley watered by the often-flowing channel of the Albanchez River. On the needle of a sharp farallon lies its rocky castle of Arab origin, becoming an unbeatable lookout over the northern geography of this mountain massif of the Natural Park of Sierra Magina.
