We spent two and a half hours for three days picking olives from our old tree in the garden.
We took these olives to the olive press on the industrial estate Arboleas.
Lorries packed full were queueing to discharge the green/black globes into the hopper, which by a series of conveyor belts takes the fruit into the press. Controlled by computer, they are weighed and the lady gave us a receipt for 90 kilos.
We could have exchanged the amount for oil, but we have 4 smaller trees to pick so we will wait until we have had those weighed and added to the tally.
