The students were able to walk around the surroundings of the Hotel Rural Masia La Mota where you can appreciate the great potential that also has the oleotourism.
Oleotourism is a rural tourism alternative in the area. This estate is taking advantage of the recovery of centuries-old olive groves and new plantations to produce extra virgin olive oil with the organic seal of the CAECV (Organic Agriculture Committee of the Valencian Community).
Once this visit was over, the students were able to go to the Font Roja Natural Park to learn about the equipment for public use in natural spaces.
Professor Victoriano Peiró explained the manuals of good environmental practices and their application to hotel and catering projects.
The day ended with a guided tour of the public ecotourism resources in the area surrounding the Font Roja Sanctuary.
