DESCRIPTION

 

We are located on the south slope of Arbe Mountain Chain, a well-known area for the Al’andalus inhabitants 1000 years ago. It was here where the necessary treasures for the ancient and actual civilisations were developed: oil, salt, pottery and also wine.

The rosemary, the thyme, the rockrose and the cold tree strawberry tell us that the harshness of the north was left behind.

Naval, a compacted and earthy village, somehow takes us to Morocco. Only the convoys of dromedaries carrying salt are missing.
