Olvera, Spain
October 2011 - a kilometre or so from Olvera on the road/track up to the quite beautiful 'Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios', there is an old ruined house. Nowadays, it's impossible to get inside but at the time that these photos were taken, one could glimpse the interior and perhaps see a bird, silhouetted against an old window frame, catching the late afternoon sun. Situated in the north-eastern corner of the Cadiz province and with a population of about 8,500, the beautiful Andalucian town of Olvera is one of the larger "pueblo blancos" (white villages) in the area with white houses, steep and narrow streets leading up to an old Arab fortress at the top of town. Close by is an impressive church, the 'Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación' (the Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation). There are plenty more photos of Olvera and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.
