Murillo el Fruto is a town located in the Merindad de Olite. Its name has crossed borders, among other things, because Raimundo Lanas, El Ruiseñor Navarro, was born here. His voice has been described as “exceptional” by expert speech therapists. He is considered the best Navarrese jotero of all time. Juan José Lacosta has published a book about the history and traditions. With him we visit some emblematic places. Another great neighbour is María Jesús Gabari. She is the local pastry chef and baker. Her Gypsy arms are famous. So much so that this sweet has travelled across national and international territory. Just like the chillies. Between five farmers they produce more than a million kilos that are sold mainly to pickle factories in La Rioja. But there are other crops such as asparagus or rice. Their cooperative has already celebrated its centenary. And of course, you have to visit the laundry and the ice well. Two buildings that have been rehabilitated and are worth visiting.
