Richards Adventure on the Costa Blanca: Between Olive Oil and Wine 🍷🫒
Richard and his friends knew from the start that this trip to Spain’s Costa Blanca wouldn’t be like the others. They wanted something different—something to remember with a smile for years to come… and that’s exactly what they got! Between extra virgin olive oil tastings, sleeping inside a giant wine barrel, wine sampling, and breathtaking mountain landscapes in Alicante, they lived a truly magical experience.

Among Ancient Olive Trees 🌿🫒
The first stop was at a historic olive estate. As soon as they arrived, everyone was left speechless: centuries-old olive trees, a peaceful silence, and the scent of the Mediterranean countryside. An expert explained how extra virgin olive oil is made, and soon came the fun part—the tasting! They tried smooth, intense, fruity oils… even playfully challenging each other to guess the subtle flavors.
Richard, thrilled, remarked:
“I never imagined olive oil could have so many flavors. It’s like discovering the Mediterranean in a single spoonful!” ✨
Afterwards, they enjoyed a sunny picnic with crusty bread, fresh tomato, cheese, and of course, the newly tasted olive oil. Pure happiness.

Sleeping in a Giant Wine Barrel 🍷😱
Just when they thought the day couldn’t get any better, came the big surprise: they were going to sleep inside a huge wine barrel converted into a cozy room!
The interior was warm and inviting, with a comfortable bed, rustic wooden details, and breathtaking views of the Alicante mountains. It was such a unique experience that they couldn’t stop taking photos.
Richard described it like this:
“Never in my life had I slept inside a wine barrel… and it was incredible! Closing the door and seeing the mountains through the window felt magical.” 🌌

Wine, Laughter & Toasts 🍇🥂
The next day, the estate had another surprise in store: a tasting of local wines. Glasses in hand, the group enjoyed reds, whites, and rosés—each with its own character and story. Between laughter and playful “expert” comments, Richard confessed:
“Wine here isn’t just a drink—it’s culture, tradition, and passion. And sharing it with friends makes it even more special.” 💚
The conversations lingered over toasts and local tapas, leaving behind a promise to return soon.
