Forty kilometers north of Málaga, in the heart of Andalusia’s Axorquia region, the tiny village of Riogordo will celebrate its annual olive oil culture festival despite current Covid-19 containment measures.
This year, La Molienda de Riogordo will also inaugurate an online companion event, which will take place a few days before the festival and is dedicated to the many English-speaking residents of the region.
