Olvera, Spain
April 2019 - Above the 'Plaza de Andalusia' in the centre of Olvera is the garden of el Peñón del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús (the Rock of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). At the top of the rock, with arms raised is the impressive statue of Christ carved by Jose Even Navas, in 1929. Some photos taken in this attractive haven of peace and tranquility.
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.
