Useful tourist information
The Inn is situated in the highlands area of the Águeda River know as Las Arribes del Águeda, next to the Portuguese border. The name of the village, Ahigal de los Aceiteros, reminds us that we are in an olive oil producing region (the word "Aceiteros" means "oil merchants"). The surrounding area is one of sunny cultivation terraces mainly dedicated to olive trees. Since time immemorial, the men and women of Ahigal have harvested their olives to produce oil in the presses. The carriers would then distribute the end produce around the local area by cart, as well as to towns and villages in the neighbouring provinces of Zamora and Valladolid. The vines and almond trees on the terraces, and the grazing land and cereal crops on the higher ground make up the remaining agricultural landscape of the village. For more day to day needs, vegetables, beans and pulses were grown in the many vegetable gardens dotted around the nearby river. The water was drawn using a system of upright crankshafts and wheels. These rudimentary structures still draw water today for the furrows of potatoes, cabbages and beans. The Inn stands on the banks of the river. The dark tones of the slate-built walls and its sloping roof match the grey tones of the peneplain and dark green of the holm oaks. The church tower rises above the Plaza Mayor village square. It houses a beautiful Baroque altarpiece made in the early 17th century by Cervera (a student of Churriguera), where worshipers venerate a statue of Saint Mary Magdalen. On 3 May, offering is made in El Humilladero Shrine, and the El Noveno festival is held on 11 May to commemorate the lifting of feudal taxes.
