Finca Solmark<\/strong>, a rural ecotourism of Spanish-Swedish origin, which supports the environment, taking care of the environment and enjoying nature, held its\u00a0First Open Days on 5 October<\/strong>at 11:00 a.m. at it Carratraca facilities, in Malaga.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The main goal\u00a0 of the event was to promote the Finca, to encourage the inhabitants of Carratraca and neighbouring towns\u00a0 to enjoy a day in nature with their families and friends, to participate in the activities that took place, to taste the local products, and above all, to discover its essence first hand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

\u201cIt is in our DNA to be a socially responsible company and to become a changemaker, since\u00a0 our project has a significant social and environmental impact\u201d<\/strong>, said in his speach, the Swedish founder and owner<\/em>, Pelle Lundborg.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

These Open Days\u00a0 were also be an excellent\u00a0opportunity for local businesses<\/strong> to have visibility and for visitors get a taste of the\u00a0products, services and trends in the rural sector firsthand.<\/strong>\u00a0Solmark was attended, among others, by sustainable rural tourism companies such as (Galeota Turism, Carratraca Rural<\/strong>), bioconstructions (Gronkode<\/strong>), environmental education (UMA), agricultural machinery (Agr\u00edcola Nevada<\/strong>), renewable energy (Campohelios<\/strong>), Bonsai Art (Universo Bonsai<\/strong>), artisan bread (Piquitos Rubio) and well-being and personal growth (Book for Wellness<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Different practical activities were carried out throughout the day from a \u201cGusaparos Workshop\u201d to teaching the kids about the life cycle of insects, to an \u00a0extra virgin olive oil tasting <\/strong>\u00a0or visiting one of our mineral exhibition organised by the Professor of Genetics at the University of Malaga Dr. Enrique Viguera and granted by \u201cTalks with Science\u201d\u00a0for this purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beyond being a charming rural accommodation, Solmark wants to favour the change of aconventional agriculture to a sustainable and ecological agriculture<\/strong>,\u00a0and also promote ecological tourism in Andalusia. To do so,\u00a0 it offers solutions for rural depopulation in the area\u00a0 (activities, workshops, events and talks) and teaches new progressive ideas for\u00a0 caring\u00a0for and respecting the environment. During the event, some of the upcoming initiatives it is organising were shown, such as\u00a0the \u201cHarvest Festival for the Olive Tree Sponsorship\u201d\u201d\u00a0that will be held on 23 November.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

These first Open Days coincide with Finca Solmark 's incorporation into\u00a0 For\u00e9tica<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, an organisation that is a benchmark in\u00a0 sustainability and corporate social responsibility, whose mission is to integrate social, environmental and good governance aspects into the strategy and management of companies and organisations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

In Lundborg's words,\u00a0 \u201cit is not easy to describe the Finca, where you can relax in full nature, sponsor an olive tree, plant an avocado, collect ecological fruit from the orchard, visit insect hotels, wander around in one of the precious sites to meditate, enjoy extra virgin olive oil that we produce or participate\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0in some of the clean-up and recycling activities that we organise, among others. Most importantly, it is about environmental awareness and that people understand that we are all responsible for taking care of the planet, starting with oneself. Many people speak and watch but take no action\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

During the open days, a cork tree was planted as a tribute to Candela Arroyo, one of the sportswomen who was awarded this year along with her team \u201cChampions of Spain of beach handball in female youth category\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
