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 city314mariannen

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. Marianne NaessRachelle8

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.Laraine_K

The tropical fruit tour was unique and very interesting. Cipriano is very knowledgeable about avocados and mangos, as well as history. His passion for the fruits and the area where he lives is contagious. The lunch with two local specialties was delicious. A great to way to learn about and taste these Mediterranean fruits with terrific views of the sea.
