About
Are you a guacamole or mango sauce fan? If that's the case you will get amazed by the taste of these delicious fruits! Firstly we visit a huge avocados and mangoes plantation with a lovely Mediterranean see view. You will be amazed by this exotic landscape and learn everything about these trees and we will make a delicious tasting with fruits from the plantation. You will love this explosion of flavours!
After this visit we drive to Vélez-Málaga, capital of la Axarquía and of the tropical fruits. There we will take you for a guided tour over the most important spots of this historic city. To put the cap on this complete morning we will drive you to Trops, an agricultural cooperative leader in production and commercialisation of tropical fruits in Europe. You will learn all the process of packaging and the countries they export our fruits. Lastly we will go to a restaurant to have lunch and you will have time to buy local products at a shop close to the restaurant.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- W9469ZEronh0 contributionsWe enjoyed the olive tour. Highly recommended!We really appreciated the olive tour. Despite the rainy weather it was a great success. The explanation about the processing of the olives into oil by our guide Miguel was very clear. Tasting the different types of olive oil was also very educational. After a beautiful ride through the mountains with the beautiful landscape we enjoyed a delicious meal at a typical Spanish restaurant. Our friendly and good-humored guide Miguel certainly contributed to this fantastically fun and educational day. Highly recommended!Written 14 March 2025
- Cosmopolitan3161000 contributionsGo Ole!! A tour like no other - excellent! Five-star++This is the second trip we've done with Ole and it it just got better! Another two beautiful white villages, Torrox Pueblo and Competa, with Miguel as our very knowledgeable guide. Add a visit to a small family wine business and tasting of three very palatable wines, followed by a lovely lunch in a pretty village made a Grand Day Out!! Just 7 of us from 3 countries we laughed a lot and learned a lot! Thank you Ole 😊Written 9 March 2025
- Cosmopolitan3161000 contributionsOletrips - The Best!!If you can only go on one trip make sure it's this one with Oletrips! Two words - Absolutely Fabulous!! All previous 5 reviews say it all. We've been coming to the Costa del Sol for 35+ years and knew nothing about Axarquia. Each of the five villages visited were beautiful and Ciprianos knowledge and stories so interesting. We're hooked - the small group, comfortable minibus and lovely lunch made best day out. Thank you Ole 😊Written 9 March 2025
- NorthStar044719713680 contributionsMarbella and MijasWe learned so much about Andulsia right from our start in Nerja to our destination of Marbella and Mijas. Cipriano is very knowledgeable and very friendly…highly recommend this tour!Written 5 March 2025
- davidhY9928LO0 contributionsExcellent small group tour of the Alhambra and Albayzin neighbourhoodOle Trips provided us with a first class tour of the Alhambra and Albayzin neighbourhood. Miguel, our driver and tour guide, was charming, knowledgeable, and provided excellent value. Special thanks to María and Cipriano in the Ole office for arranging the logistics of our trip as it had to be arranged outside of their normally scheduled trips to Granada. Wish we had more time to try some of their other day trips. Highly recommended!Written 27 February 2025
- M8839ITstuartl0 contributionsA great day out!We did the Sun and Wine Tasting day out which we can thoroughly recommend. Our team of 4 Brits were picked up at 8.45 am by our guide Miguel in Caleta followed by a couple from Norway at 9am in Nerja. We headed straightaway inland into the mountains for our first stop in Torrox Pueblo. There our walking history tour began as we weaved our way round the streets and the Old Town. We learned about the Arabic village architecture designed to keep out invaders and Almanzor, the great leader of the Moors. We admired the wonderful views straight down to the sea. Then it was on to Competa much further up into the mountains with even more spectacular views for another walking tour to learn about its history and traditions and the importance of donkeys, an absolute necessity for life back then. We had a very welcome break for coffee in Competa at about 12 noon before heading to the 5th generation family-run small bodega whose wines were selected by a group of blind wine tasters for the Spanish King's wedding 20 years ago - showing how special their wines are. Again, much information about the traditional hands-on method of wine production along with the delicious wines to taste and the small shop to browse and select products to buy from. The mountain scenery was spectacular with the almond trees blossoming into pink and white froths and the mimosa trees showing off their yellow bloom. Having become slightly tipsy, our tummies were ready for a delicious 3 course lunch in the village of Sayalonga, with plenty of choice, at about 2.30pm after which we were delivered back to our respective locations, having had a marvellous day out. Miguel was such a great guide, full of historical information (and current day facts!) great fun and a fantastic grasp of the English language. Thankyou Miguel!Written 20 February 2025
- Scenic3917210 contributionsAlways extremely pleased with OletripsWe had a wonderful day in Cordoba with Miguel as our guide. He was an extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He worked hard to give us a taste of the various traditional food experiences. Highly recommend Oletrips as this was our 5th tour in the 2 years we have been visiting Nerja. Thank you.Written 19 February 2025

- Neverfull19810 contributionsExactly as described but beat expectations.Absolutely fantastic trip, would recommend to any one wanting to explore the area around Malaga a little more. Miguel the guid was informative friendly and made sure everyone had the experience described. Learning about the olive oil process and seeing it happen was truly memorable. And with lunch included the whole day was incredible value for money.Written 11 February 2025
- F6423WCmichaell0 contributionsGreat day out in the hills of Andalucia visiting some lovely white village.I went on this trip on Monday 13th January. It was a fantastic day out with Miguel our driver and guide and another couple who I just met on the day. Miguel was such a nice easy-going fella who was very knowledgeable and good company. The villages we visited were very pretty and architecturally very pleasing. Miguel gave us a lot of very interesting details about the history of the area. The four of us had a lot of laughs also along the way ! All in all, a great day out and very well worth the price. Muchas gracias !!!Written 17 January 2025

Very informative tour .. well worth the trip.. Then on to lunch in Granada....really enjoyable tour, only 8 people ...Fantastic Totally recommend ole trips & MiguelWritten 15 January 2025
- 98rebeckah0 contributionsSol och vinruttGuided tours are usually of varying quality, but this tour was truly a highlight. First of all, we ended up with two couples from Liverpool, just their presence enhanced the experience. Regarding the guide and the guide's knowledge and ability to deliver interesting and relevant information, it was magnificent. He captured our attention, without being too intense. Just taking us up to the heights on those roads, would make many hesitate, but with a sure hand the guide drove us up in a very pleasant way. The walks through the different villages, how the small-scale wine production is conducted and the wine tasting afterwards, were all an incomparable experience. We are so grateful for this tour and have already thought about the next tour, when visiting Nerja. Thank you so much!Written 6 January 2025
- Deb0220 contributionsPerfect dayPerfecto! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Small, intimate, informative, spectacularly beautiful and fun! Cipriano is an outstanding guide who combines his formal education with his lifelong experience in this region to provide guests with insight only a person with his passion can give. This is a top-notch experience in which I highly recommend!Written 4 January 2025
- petral6950 contributionsWell planned tourInteresting and well planned tour with a professional guide with great knowledge about olives and the area. We enjoyed every minute of it! Small group, nice views, tasting olive oil and some good food at a good restaurant with very nice surroundings. Also nice visit to family cottage. Can absolutely recommend!Written 4 January 2025

Had a great time! Cipriano, our tour guide showed us and explained the different varieties of Mangoes and Avocados. The Avocados weren't quite ready yet, so he made up for it with other fruits from around the farm. Highly recommend! Then took a quick trip to Velez-Malaga and spent some time at the cathedral there with views of the fort nearby. He explained their religious holiday "Semana Santa" which really sparked my interest in the Catholic Faith.
Note, the meeting location is not in Malaga (it's in Torre del Mar or nearby Lagos). Took an Uber and made it there fine.

A MUST do if you are in the area! Highly recommend - for national and international visitors. The content of the tour was interesting, fun and educational. Cipriano's knowledge, passion, friendliness and flexibility is what makes this particular tour unique guaranteeing a spectacular time! The itinerary had a nice balance - something for everyone; I am a foodie so the avocado/mango and lunch were my favorite parts. My husband enjoys history so learning about a few of the historical places in Velez-Malaga were interesting to him while not "too much" for me. Due to the small size of the tour (8 people max) by the end of it we not only had a wonderful time learning about the area but we left feeling like we made new friends. A very nice touch was that after the tour, Cipriano's partner, Maria, sent us a video of the days events giving us a nice memento of the day. If we had had more time we would have done other Ole tours that were offered. Will do when we return! Also, Cipriano has an excellent command of English (German too) which was important to us because my husband does not speak Spanish.

Cipriano was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything from local history to how the farmers’ cooperative runs. As well as tasting some mangoes he also introduced us to some tropical fruits I’d never heard of. It was a well run day with a fantastic guide. Thank you!

It was our 2. Tour with Cipriano. It doesn’t get any better, as it is always small groups and all explanations in Spanish, English or German. Cipriano and his team are in the best hands. Everything is conveyed with a lot of expertise, dedication and, if necessary, humor. Also the ratio price/performance is top!!!!!

A really informative day about something I previously knew nothing about. Following a very informative tour through the farm looking at not only mangoes and avocados, we saw different exotic fruits that the farm is experimenting with.
This was followed by a tasting session of these fruits.
We then headed over to Vélez Malaga to the church of Santa Maria and also the tower that overlooks the town. From here there are amazing views.
Next stop - a very welcome lunch.
Throughout the day, Cupriano and Miguel were perfect, knowledgeable hosts. A fabulous day !

We had a lovely day and became experts in tropical fruits. At least for one day;) It was a lot of information to take in.
And the historic information of Velez Malaga made us want to visit the city again.
The part we liked best was the plantation. Interesting to understand how a family runs the business. And we could really feel Cipris passion for his city

We had such a great experience with Cipriano. Much better than we expected. We had a lovely tour at the Mango and Avocado plantation, also got some lovely tasting with a lot of surprises.
Then we had a small tour to some historical places in Velez-Malaga where Cipriano is an amazing speaker and have so much historical knowledge. We ended the tour with s lovely lunch. We will definitely go back with Cipriano and Ole Trips.

TROPICAL ROUTE
We where 4 norwegian persons who did participate in a trip to a tropical garden with mangos and avocados. Afterward we had a sighseeing in Velez Malaga. It was a very interesting tour where we were told about the different types of mangos and avocados. Afterwards we had the oportunity to taste them. The guide spoke very good english and was a very simpatic person. In Velez Malaga he showed us two beautifull churches and we had a very nice view over the town. At the end of the day he took us to a restaurant where we got a very good lunsj.
I would very much recommand this trip to other tourists.
