The Agua Amarga Olive Tree, also known as the Thousand-Year-Old Agua Amarga Olive Tree, is a monumental tree located in the Rambla de los Viruega (or Viruegues), very close to the village of Agua Amarga, in the municipality of Níjar, within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.
The canopy casts a shadow about 10 meters in diameter. Despite its age and lack of intensive care, it is in acceptable condition, although it could be improved.
