The Alpujarra is a region between Granada and Almeria famous for it´s century-old olive trees in an area rich in biodiversity.
 
Here, small-scale, subsistence farming relys on the traditional irrigation system of "acequias" inherited from arabic culture, which are the life-blood of the region.
 
Olives are cultivated on watered terraces, together with citrus trees, vegetables and livestock.
 
The members of the Flor de la Alpujarra Co-operative promote agro-ecological farming methods of olive farming, free from incecticides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
