It is time for Alquería de Camarillas.
The first generations of the family settled in this area of Jaén with Fernando III the Saint in the 13th century. In the time of Felipe II, Camarillas, already appears in some of the Royal Accounting books as “a prosperous Alquería dedicated to agricultural work”. Through this land, rich in Iberian archaeological remains, also runs the path of Hannibal that connected Carthage Nova with Castulo where he married Imilce, Iberian princess. The Romans settled in these areas due to the wealth of metals that it treasured, samples of which are the innumerable votive offerings that fill the museums of half the world: “The Great sacrificer” of the National Archaeological Museum, comes from this same valley. The Taifa de Segura stands proudly in the cirque of mountains that surround us, crowned by the castle where great poets like Abenamar or Jorge Manrique were. The springs of these mountains, after irrigating our lands, feed two great rivers, the Great River of the Roman Baetica and Al-Andalus: The Guadalquivir River; and the Segura River that flows in the opposite direction towards Levante. Timber rivers that transported the large logs and planks that helped to create our glorious Naval and Discoverer past. All this is part of our DNA.
Alquería de Camarillas
The family farm of more than 250 hectares, for more than 6 generations, is located in the Natural Park of the Sierra de Segura, Cazorla and Las Villas in Jaén, considered a Biosphere Reserve and one of the largest Natural Parks in Europe. Our valley, surrounded by mountains, is a space of peace and harmony full of telluric energies. In our farm, ecological and anthroposophical, with great respect for the earth and attending to the terrestrial and cosmic cycles, is where we develop our agricultural activity, the ancient cultivation of a sacred tree: the olive tree.
Food
We create an Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Ecological and Biodynamic Picual certification of early harvesting, with a very high vital energy, appreciable in the Kinesiological Tests that are the same that I use in my profession as a Stomatologist for the diagnosis and treatment of my patients. All our production enjoys the DEMETER International certification. The horses, birds and sheep that graze in our farm, create the natural fertilizers that together with the work in our Biodynamic orchard (Valerian, Yarrow, Chamomile, Dioecious Nettle…) supply us with everything necessary for the balance of this “farm organism” in which we maintain the ecosystem unaltered, free of pesticides, insecticides and synthetic fertilizers in a work of defense of nature and the health of the consumers of our oil.
