Abstract
About the series: This collection of documentaries explores the indelible mark the olive tree, a symbol of life and spirit of peace, has left on the Mediterranean region for thousands of years. The Olive Route collection, rich in detail and colorful in scope, is not simply a geographical path, but a bridge connecting people, culture, trade, and spirituality that reveals a surprising common heritage among a diverse population. It is impossible to understand the history and culture of the Mediterranean without studying the impact of the humble olive tree on the region.
About the title: With close to 300 million trees, Spain’s Southern province of Andalusia is the world’s uncontested Olive Kingdom. It is here that more olive oil is produced than anywhere else in the world. It is here that tons of waste from olive oil production is turned into electricity. It is here that you can gain a university degree in olive culture. The list of superlatives seems never ending. In this “sea of olive trees” there is also the largest olive mill in the world as well as the most modern biomass power station in Europe. The olive tree is said to be in the DNA of its people.
