The first thing the moorish king Aben-Humeya beheld when
arriving Tabernas was the predominating powerful castle of
all the province. When he was walking into these paths he
discovered the governor Mozairel land's richness, a truly
oasis in the middle of desert. Aben Humeya was overwhelmed
contemplating the vast olive groves and the elm trees which
grew around a clear water lake.
Morairel opened his castle to his distinguished guest who soon got used to
this orchard«s comfort, the one he was shown by Moraila, the host's daughter.
The beautiful moorish-christian Aben's lover, she showed him the wonderful
places of the paradise she lived in.
The moorish king succumbed to the charming princess, then they stayed together
in this orchard where their romance is still remembered. It's been 500 years
since all happened, and now -a-days the Moraila site has become one of the
largest sites of Europe, here it is manufactured a high quality olive's oil
of just 0'1† of acidity. This great olive grove embraces 600 hectares of sunny
land.
