LA VILLA ROMANA DE LOS VILLARICOS. La almazara romana de Mula.En el Noroeste de la Región, próximo a Mula, se encuentra un activo arqueológico de gran riqueza cultural e histórica de la época romana referente por albergar una de las mayores almazaras en Hispania.Hablamos de Los Villaricos, una villa romana que entre los siglos I y V d. C. albergó un núcleo de población de carácter unifamiliar destinado a la explotación, transformación y almacenamiento de productos agropecuarios, principalmente aceite y vino. Este tipo de asentamientos recibían el nombre de villae (pronunciado vil.lae) y eran característicos de zonas rurales.Las villas romanas podían ser de ocio y de producción, pero Los Villaricos tenía ambas finalidades, con una pars urbana o dominica (residencia del señor con su familia y huéspedes e incluso el servicio), que sería la parte noble, y la pars rustica o zona de trabajo que consta de extensiones de cultivo, herramientas y animales para el laboreo, que contiene además de la pars frumentaria, lugar donde tiene lugar la elaboración, conservación y almacenaje de la producción agrícola.La villa romana de Los Villaricos constaba de:- Balnea o zona de baños termales.- La zona noble o pars dominica que solía contar con elementos decorativos como mosaicos, pinturas o mármoles.- Torcularium o almazara con salas para prensado, decantación y depósito.- Necrópolis- Basílica: cuando fue abandonada la villa, la zona residencial se convierte en lugar de culto mediante la transformación de dos estancias en un edificio de planta basilical.En 2015, las principales villas diseminadas en zonas rurales se unen para formar la Red de Cooperación «Villas romanas de Hispania” para aunar el territorio de la antigua Hispania romana en una propuesta patrimonial, cultural y turística, innovadora y sostenible. Está formada por las Villas romanas de: Almenara-Puras en Almenara de Adaja / Puras (Valladolid), El Ruedo en Almedinilla (Córdoba), Fuente Álamo en Puente Genil (Córdoba), Las Musas en Arellano (Navarra), Fortunatus en Fraga (Huesca), La Loma del Regadío en Urrea de Gaén (Teruel), Veranes en Gijón (Asturias), La Olmeda en Pedrosa de la Vega (Palencia), Los Villaricos en Mula (Murcia) y Salar en Salar (Granada). Es muy ilusionante ver un mapa de estas villas en la que Los Villaricos queda como un referente del sureste español, sin ninguna otra villa de referencia en 300 kilómetros a la redonda.

Contact Tiny to reserve your spot for this special event before Kentucky Bourbon Festival.Hidden in Canton, Ohio, just five minutes from Tiny's home, sits a world-class destination that's revolutionizing the Ohio spirits landscape. Gervasi Vineyard started as a picturesque winery with Italian-inspired buildings, but has evolved into something much more ambitious—a complete hospitality experience featuring restaurants, villas, a spa, coffee house, and now an award-winning distillery housed in a striking building resembling an Italian church.The Scotchy Bourbon Boys podcast takes us inside this local treasure, focusing on Gervasi's spirits program that recently earned runner-up status at the US Open Whiskey Championship. Master Distiller Shae Pridemore (a previous podcast guest) has carefully curated their first Single Barrel Bourbon release—a pot-distilled expression bottled at 116.9 proof that earned an impressive 14/18 on Tiny's Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown scale.What makes this Ohio bourbon special isn't an attempt to copy Kentucky styles, but rather its unique character featuring notes of white raisins, currants, tart cherry, and what Tiny describes as "sweet leather." This distinctiveness perfectly illustrates why emerging distilleries should embrace regional character rather than mimicking established producers. The enthusiasm Tiny shares for this local gem is infectious—he's not just a fan but a founding member of their new Distiller Circle, which offers exclusive access to releases, barrel picks, and quarterly events for $199 annually.Beyond the bourbon itself, the episode highlights how Gervasi has created a complete destination experience where visitors can stay, dine, and immerse themselves in craft spirits. It's a fascinating glimpse into how non-traditional whiskey regions are challenging expectations and creating world-class products worth seeking out. Whether you're planning the Scotchy Bourbon Boys' upcoming bus tour or your own spirits adventure, this Ohio distillery deserves a prominent place on your must-visit list.voice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com

Steve's story runs three generations deep in the travel industry, and he's worn just about every hat you can imagine—from airline sales to hotel operations—before finding his calling in the world of private villa experiences. In this episode, Steve reveals why Villas of Distinction is all about quality over quantity, and how they've nurtured enduring partnerships with top travel advisors around the world. Their approach to vetting every villa (from hot water pressure checks to wine glass counts) is anything but casual, ensuring that each stay meets their lofty “five-star” criteria. And when things get tough—like after a major hurricane—they've proven they'll put the guest experience above everything else. Tune in to hear: How a legacy family business and decades of travel shaped Steve's hospitality mindset Why a curated portfolio of villas (not 30,000 listings) guarantees the best guest experience Real-life stories of turning “fixer-upper” villas back into five-star stunners The magic of working with a travel advisor—and why it won't cost you extra Predictions on the next big trends in luxury villa travel (hint: it's all about experiences) From private island getaways to truffle hunts in Tuscany, Steve's passion for personalized service is palpable.

In this episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Vegas Dave for his third appearance, and man, this conversation is loaded with bombs. We dive into everything from luxury real estate in Cabo to the harsh lessons learned from managing multi-million dollar properties. Dave shares his experiences owning three stunning villas in Cabo, including Villa Vegas Dave 3, where I just stayed. Trust me, these aren't your typical vacation spots. We're talking about houses that rent for $15,000 a night, come with three butlers, three maids, and three chefs – giving you a first-class experience that's better than any hotel! But it wasn't all smooth sailing for Dave and he opened up to me about this and for all of my Bomb Squid from betrayal, tunneling money and getting scammed. It was a hard learning lesson that cost him MILLIONS but sharpened his instincts. We also get into how Dave pivoted from being a high-rolling sports bettor, banned from every casino in Vegas, to running one of the most successful sports consulting businesses. His betting strategies and consulting business have helped him create a $50 million real estate empire in Cabo! The takeaway here? Whether you're looking to make money in sports betting or real estate, Dave drops some key insights on how discipline, sacrifice, and following your gut can get you ahead – and why you can't trust everyone, no matter how close they seem. If you want to book one of Dave's killer villas, head over to VillaVegasDave.com, but be warned, you'll never want to stay anywhere else after experiencing it!!     What You'll Learn: You will learn about the power of trusting your instincts, sports betting and real estate investing.    Highlights: Vegas Dave's Villas in Cabo Real Estate Ventures Scam and Mismanagement Sports Consulting Success Lessons Learned Future of Cryptocurrency Lifestyle and Sacrifice Resources Mentioned:  https://www.villavegasdave.com/  You can follow today's guest at: https://www.instagram.com/itsvegasdave/?hl=en    Watch the full video episode on Brad's Rumble here: https://rumble.com/c/c-2544182 Watch the full video episode on Brad's Youtube here: https://bradlea.tv
