  • Almeria greenhouses, need to get the OH onboard

    Oh my gosh, i cannot wait only read about it this morning so have to persuade the OH to go and put up with the coach ride :roll eyes: but how amazing is this.






    Almanzora Group of Friends – Thursday 18th February

    Almeria Undercover – €22.50

    Go behind the scenes as we visit a typical Almerian Greenhouse complex.

    We see different types of greenhouse with alternative growing mediums and drainage systems. Be surprised at how high tech these facilities are with computerized control of ventilation, heating, climatic irrigation, and biological pest control,

    Visit the seed production area with a demonstration of the production techniques of the young tomato plants.

    Taste the different varieties of tomatoes, (pear, cherry, cocktail and salad), as well as the ‘Almeria’ and ‘Cocktail’ cucumbers with olive oil, bread and honey, vegetable sauces and the latest vegetable jams.

    In this guided visit, we take a tour of the unique agriculture of Almeria, giving us a perspective of the past and present of Almeria salad and vegetable production, illustrating the importance of the under-plastic intensive agriculture for the economy of the province, and exploring the different cultivation techniques used and the most recent developments.

    In addition, we will see the evolution of this agriculture, showing the application of new technologies with entertaining and colloquial demonstrations, and explanations on how these new technologies are contributing, every day, to the development of a new kind of agriculture, more sustainable and respectful of our environment.

    During the visit, we will hear anecdotes and stories of life in the Almeria fields, to give a more complete vision of the idiosyncrasy of our region.

    Our day continues in Almeria City where we have free time for a stroll, a shop and some lunch.

        Sounds fab for 22 euros (I dont have a euro on my keyboard - whats that about?!) - I'd go without the OH if necessary

        You'll have to give us any transferrable tips you pick up!

          You can do a € by holding down "ctrl" and "alt" keys together and pressing "4".

          Love the sound of that greenhouse tour, Lisa. Just tell OH that you're going and ask him if he wants to come with you to help with the shopping.

                Lisa, whe I read this it reminded me of the first time I went to Almeria, when looking out the plane window it looked like a lot of small lakes around the area. I wonder if OH would want to take me back there.
                it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.
