The heart of the western area of the province of Almeria is covered by a plastic sea. It is more than likely that the fruit and veg you pick up at the supermarket at home come from the greenhouses here. The desert-like Mediterranean climate favours the cultivation of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other fruit and vegetables, especially during the winter months. There's much more to Almeria than sun and sand and no-one should leave here without getting to know the thriving horticultural engine of its economy first hand.

On this fascinating tour of Clisol, you'll get to know all about the secrets of Mediterranean greenhouse agriculture. You'll learn the technical, economic and commercial facts about how the prime fruit and vegetables from this sunny corner of Andalucia are delivered to tables all over the world. Then you'll get to try some of the top notch tomatoes and cucumbers from the Clisol greenhouses together with bread, olive oil and some delicious local honey.
