Museo del Aceite de Altura
A museum housed in the old La Hidráulica oil mill, founded in 1927 and preserved as it was left when it closed in 1998. It forms part of Altura's cultural facilities and allows visitors to see the machinery and the space of a historic oil mill.
The Museo del Aceite de Altura occupies the old La Hidráulica oil mill, founded in 1927. The building has been kept as it was left when it closed in 1998, so the visit shows the machinery and the space of a historic mill without idealised reconstruction. It is one of the notable cultural facilities of the municipality. Walking through its rooms makes it possible to understand how an oil-producing centre worked and what role this activity played in the local economy. The factory itself, with its original equipment, is the main content of the museum.
