Interpretation Centre
Welcome to the EVOO Experience at Finca La Pontezuela.
Our recently inaugurated 5 Elementos Olive Grove Interpretation Centre is a unique national and international project that serves as a model for oleo-tourism. It is located in a beautiful natural setting with breath-taking views of the Montes de Toledo and is very close to the Cabañeros National Park. Finca La Pontezuela is a jewel to discover.
During the visit, you will learn about traditional olive grove culture in a distinctive, natural and singular environment. We are surrounded by flora and fauna that visitors can take in while learning the ins and outs of making one of the best Extra Virgin Olive Oils in the world: 5 Elementos.
The 5 Elementos Olive Grove Interpretation Centre was created to promote and spread the culture of the olive grove and disseminate knowledge of this rich olive juice. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a key ingredient of the Mediterranean diet and recommended to maintain good health.
We have dedicated 600 m2 (6500 ft2) so that visitors may get acquainted with the olive grove and its surroundings. The space is complete with surprises, novelties, and state-of-the-art interactive activities that will help you fully understand the world of olive cultivation in Toledo.
