About Quino / Rafael*, Owner of Casa del Aceite - Mur de Aluján

Quino / Rafael*
We are a family that lives in the Castle of Casa Mur de Aluján for more than five centuries. The first inhabitants, the Pérez family, built this fortress in the 15th century.
In the seventeenth century, the denomination became Casa Mur, the Perezes being without offspring and inheriting the property the marriage composed of a Mur and a woman, Josefina Pérez. The house, paradigm of the Aragonese house, has everything necessary for an autarchic economy.
Here the Bread, the Wine was made, water was extracted from the cistern, the oil was stored, the meat and its preserves were produced and the clothes (sheets, breeches ...) were made with the hemp.
The house has a chapel with medieval paintings and cellar. At the end of the twentieth we proceeded to fix the roof and the house where we lived, and then in 2005 proceed to allocate various units in rural tourism houses: The House of Bread, The House of Wine, the House of Oil and the House of The Wool .
All of them are accessed by an interior courtyard while there are gardens surrounding them. We love that you visit us and share our history, culture and heritage. And also, if someone wants it, see the animals: cows, horses, a donkey, chickens, pigeons, rabbits. We offer our visitors, if they want, food and breakfast and we tell them itineraries of art, nature, restaurants, rivers and ravines and mountain trails to walk or bike.
