This is an old olive oil mill located next to the Rambla de Cervera. Built between the 14th and 15th centuries, it functioned as a manor system oil monopoly until the 1920s. Declared BIC (i.e. Bien de Interés Cultural = Asset of Cultural Interest), it has been converted into a visitor's center, and apart from a complete museum exhibition, it houses the town's tourist information office.
While riding our bikes, we will discover the natural and historical wealth of a municipality with one of the largest concentrations of Millenary Olive Trees in the province: Canet lo Roig. At one of the various stops, we will visit the famous olive tree of the film El Olivo (The Olive Tree), explaining the despoilment that this valuable heritage has suffered for decades. We will stop for a snack at the Ermita de Santa Isabel and taste the olive oil produced in Canet.
Farmer's lunch among Millenary Olive Trees, where you can taste wine and olive oil from the Sant Climent winery while pairing them with local products. Tomatoes with onion harvested the very same morning, rustic bread baked in a wood-fired oven, sausages and Catalan botifarra with tomato, potato omelette, seasonal fruit and wine chosen for the occasion.
