Museo del Vino (Wine Museum)
by Geoff_Wright
Really, I suppose this tip shoul be placed last! I mean, fancy visiting a working wine museum, where you can sample the local produce, and then trying to find time to see the rest of the magnificent town!
Visitors can partake in a guided tour of the Museum and sample local wines of the area. The Museum has much more than just wine for you tu purchase. Really worth a look inside! The Museo del Vino (C/Carrera, 39) is open daily in summer from 11 am to 3 p.m. and 6 to 10 p.m., and in winter from 11 am to 3 p.m., and 4 to 8 p.m.

Pretty Whitewashed Houses
by Geoff_Wright
Ojen is one of those little villages which time seemed to leave behind. Not all of it, of course, but the older parts of the village are quite charming. Here, Carmen and Jaymes are strolling through one of the narrow streets.
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora
by Carmela71
church from the 16th century.
with a square Mudejar tower similar in structure to a minaret.
It is settled in the main square, that in carnivals and the festival (12 october), you can find the party.....
Church of La Encarnación
by Geoff_Wright
This pretty church, Church of La Encarnación , is to be found somewhere near the centre of the old town. We didn't have time to go inside, and I'm not sure if the church was actually open for casual visitors.
This 16th Century Church was built over an old mosque, the minaret of which survives as the present church spire and bell-tower. Inside, apparently, there is a single nave with a beautifully decorated timber ceiling. I have a note that a stone on the church read: Cofradia Del Snto Cristo Del Amor.

But Ojén used to be famous for something a little stronger than water.
The production of the anise liqueur, aguardiente once played a major part in the town's economy.
