OLIVE PICKING IN DECEMBER 2025 ! How does an Al Fresco Sausage Sizzle (or Veggie Burger) beer and wine amongst the olives sound ??? Its Olive Season and we are going to be ready to pick in December.
We have a 400 year old cortijo in the countryside which has been restored and at the moment we are looking for help with Olive picking, strimming and cutting meadow grass and gardening around the house. We are also in the process of cutting down some invasive bushes and generally tidying up the land, which is a mamoth annual task as we have over 10 hectares. The current work however, is primarily to help harvest the olives, some general gardening and clearing the areas around the house. No really heavy work involved, During Olive Picking season, December - January, we dont have to start too early, around 9am and working til around 4pm.
