On the road to Teulada, vineyards and almond and olive tree orchards cover the undulating slopes of the mountains facing the sea to create a special kind of Mediteranean landscape painted in tones of ochre. The 'riu-rau' houses - a name for the typical farmhouses with columned patios where grapes are dried - show how traditional lifestyles still follow the rhythms of yesteryear. These grapes make delicious raisins and an excellent muscatel wine, sweet and tangy.
