The Viver Cooperative is promoting accessible rural tourism by incorporating its olive oil tourism experience “A Walk with Lágrima” is featured as another inclusive route in the new Guide to Inclusive Tourist Routes developed by COCEMFE CV, in collaboration with Turisme GVA and the Agency for the Defense and Promotion of Accessibility (ADEPA).

“A Walk with Lágrima” invites visitors to discover the fascinating world of olive groves and the process of making Lágrima extra virgin olive oil. The experience combines a guided tour of the fields and the mill with a sensory tasting that highlights the aromas and flavors of this unique and iconic EVOO. Designed to ensure accessibility, this activity allows people of all abilities to fully enjoy the tradition and flavors of the land, reflecting the cooperative’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the well-being of the community.

A New Inclusive Agritourism Route in Viver

Including this experience in COCEMFE CV’s guide to inclusive tourist routes increases its visibility and reaffirms the importance of offering agritourism options tailored to all audiences. The initiative not only enriches the tourism landscape but also helps drive economic and social development in rural areas. The combination of accessibility, tradition, and innovation demonstrates that rural tourism can be a true driver of integration and progress in the region.

The goal of the COCEMFE CV guide is to offer tourist routes that ensure access and participation for people with different abilities, promoting accessibility in rural and cultural settings. “A Walk with Lágrima” fits perfectly into this concept, as it not only showcases the beauty of Viver’s olive groves and the process of producing extra virgin olive oil, but has also been adapted so that everyone can enjoy it, free from physical barriers. The experience offers a close-up look at the tradition and sustainability that characterize the Viver Cooperative, demonstrating how agritourism can be inclusive and accessible.

The Viver Cooperative thus reaffirms its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and inclusion. The inclusion of “A Walk with Lágrima” in the guide to inclusive tourist routes is a testament to an effort to break down barriers and promote tourism that reflects the community’s values. Agri-food cooperatives are one of the pillars of rural development, and this initiative highlights how inclusion and accessibility can enhance rural culture and tradition, benefiting not only visitors but also the economic and social development of rural areas.
