Just strolling around the quiet streets of this beautiful Andalucian town is a delight. The views of the surrounding countryside aren't bad either! Situated in the north-eastern corner of the Cadiz province and with a population of about 8,500, 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 SeƱora de la EncarnaciĆ³n' (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.

(KIKA) - LOS ANGELES - 23 DIC - Olvera Street si trova nella parte piĆ¹ antica di Los Angeles, El pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles, fondata nel 1781 da Felipe de Neve, governatore spagnolo della California. Le botteghe e bancarelle lungo Olvera vendono vestiti tipici messicani, sandali di cuoio, animali di paglia e churros, un tipo di pane fritto, insieme ai nuovi suvenirs tipo le maschere della lotta messicana e il nostro Topo Gigio. Durante i molti festival, nell'El Pueblo si scsatenano suoni e colori, come nella processione con le candele di Las Posadas, che viene seguita sempre con grande partecipazione. .

Out in the mid-day heat, I came up behind a horse trotting along the path, no rider. As I cycled past it, it increased to a canter to keep up with me, which seemed odd.
Later on I entered a tunnel and discovered about 12 other horses keeping out of the heat, including both mares and stallions, a couple of foals and a donkey.
