Hacienda La Laguna

Hacienda La Laguna is an estate near Puente del Obispo featuring five distinct courtyards, traditional stone architecture, and an extensive aqueduct system that irrigates the surrounding agricultural lands. The property now functions as both a cultural center and a hospitality school, offering guided tours through its grounds.

The hacienda was originally founded by Jesuits in 1641 and changed ownership through royal decrees, noble families, and agricultural transformations. The estate underwent major restoration in 1992, preserving its significance for future generations.

The property houses the Museum of Olive Culture, displaying traditional oil-pressing equipment and artifacts that document the region's agricultural practices. This collection offers visitors a direct sense of how olive growing shaped daily life and livelihoods in the area.

Access to the property is through organized guided tours that show visitors the various sections and their functions. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the tour covers multiple courtyards and outdoor areas you will explore on foot.

An artificial pond called Laguna Grande supplies water to the estate through a 19th-century brick aqueduct system that encircles the entire property. This water system is a remarkable engineering work that shows the historical skill of builders in the region.
