Presenter Quim Masferrer visits the town of Arbeca, in the Garrigues region, this Monday in a new episode of the show El Foraster on TV3 and the 3Cat platform.

Tonight's episode dives into the heart of the arbequina olive production. Masferrer will meet Ramon, an 85-year-old local with incredible energy, and Carme, an 88-year-old woman who loves costumes and will share a dance with the host.

"I am 85 years old and I don't take any pills. Look at how I do push-ups."
