From generation to generation, the inhabitants of
Valle del Almanzora (Almanzora Valley) have inherited the wine
culture for centuries. In the middle of the 20th century, all the
higher Almanzora was a sea of vineyards for table wines, called “uva
de barco” (boat grapes) because they were exported, the most
appreciated being the Cela, Lucar, Purchena, Tíjoa, Oria, Serón,
etc, there not being a single wine or vine producer who did no make
use of any steep bank or slope to plant roots from which to obtain
what is still called today “vino del pais” (wine of the country).
