Highly recommended experience in La Herradura area - This was such a fun and informative tour! We learned a lot about how the coffee plantation came to exist, the history of the land, and lots about the wondrous variety of tropical fruit grown there. The challenges of managing a tropical fruit farm in an ecologically responsible way are immense, and I have a lot of respect for what is being done here. We bought some fruit from the farm at the end of the tour and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour :)

Nice Experience with a Super Friendly Owner - Hello,
Manolo is a very nice person and explains well all facets of his exotic exploitation. Many varieties of exotic fruit trees. I recommend small mangoes to buy at the end of the route , they are simply delicious despite their appearance. We had a great time. Thanks to Manolo for having this love of nature.
To do with family and with the requested protections because it can be very hot.
Thank you.

Sehr schöner und interessanter Ausflug!! A super interesting excursion!! Bear txango polita!! - It has been a very nice and informative experience!
I had always wondered about the different trees in the Granada and Malaga area and all the different fruits in Andalucia. Manolo has been able to answer all the doubts and questions we had. He has guided us through his planting of different types of trees, including coffee! Very interesting.
Manolo, in addition to speaking German, French, English and Spanish, speaks a little Basque as well:-)
Eskerrik asko Manolo!! Txango polita eta zure historia ere interesgarria izan da!!
Orain, zuhaitzak ikusten ditugunean, beste begiekin begiratzen ditugu eta arri begiratzen ditugu jakiteko ea avocado, papaya edo beste zuhaitz bat den ala ez :-)
Vielen Dank Manolo, es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht und wir emphelen es sehr gerne weiter!!
Greetings,
Iker, Elaia, Dirk and Esther

An example of how different plants harmonize with each other - The tour was very impressive And to see your experience not only for children of different fruits and herbs, but also the coffee beans flourish.
The insight into the family history, the courage and energy to start again and again was also very impressive!!
It is important for children to carry sun protection and water

Wonderful experience - Manuel’s fantastic coffee farm in La Herradura is certainly worth a visit! My son and I spent a wonderful (and hot) couple of hours on a guided tour. We learned a lot about fruit and coffee farming, and we are looking forward to trying the coffee at home 🫶🏽
A huge recommendation to Manuel from two Danes on Summer holiday ☀️
