Trip to the paleolithic era
Places available per day: 25 people
Dynamics of the activity in Alive Paleolithic
Once on location, the first thing we will do will be to “move” the group thousands of years back in time, to a space and a Sierra as barren as Atapuerca, where living, and even surviving, had to be really difficult for everyone.
The first of the routes, on foot, will be a tracking in itself. The group will learn to locate the marks, tracks and signs left by the animals in the area. It will be something like a day of reconnaissance of the terrain, either to get some game for the week, or to reaffirm the security of the village.
The subsequent approach to the animals will make the members of the group feel like Paleolithic men and women. They will look for them and approach them with the utmost caution, with the firm and vital purpose of not being discovered until they are by their side. The visit to what would have been a village of those times continues. At this point, the person in charge of the activity will show his skill and that of our ancestors with fire, hunting, painting… The group will also become a clan for a while, and everyone will have their role within it, with their chief, their hunters, their gatherers…,
The final point of this interesting and exciting activity will be the visit to another village, but this one much more advanced, as the group will enter the Living Neolithic, one of the key moments in the history of mankind.

Dynamics of the activity at DOMINIO DE CAIR (for adults and children)
Perfection, dynamism and restlessness. This is how the character of the Luis Cañas family and its winery, Dominio de Cair, is defined, the result of the desire of its founder, Juan Luis Cañas, to make great wines in a land as exceptional as Ribera del Duero. Old vines, some of them centuries old, and old vines, few in production but excellent in character, soon made this winemaker fall in love and in 2008 he opened a modern winery, with avant-garde architecture, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero. Everything in the winery is designed to obtain wines of the highest quality.
This and much more is what our visitors will discover during the development of this activity, which also includes, in the case of adults:
- Tasting of two wines during the visit (extracted directly from the barrel)
tasting of rosé wine - Tasting of La Aguilera Selection accompanied by an appetizer
- Complimentary glass of tableware
While the adults are enjoying the wonders of the local wines, the children and teenagers will be participating in their own tasting, which will be of fruits and cheeses carved in fun shapes. Our collaborator, a true specialist in the Mukimono technique, will show them live how to make the most genuine figures out of fruits or cheeses, which we are sure they will soon be able to put in their mouths. Laughter and creative entertainment also for the youngest participants.
