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 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.
Olvera is a small hilltop town in the Andalucian countryside between Cadiz and Granada. The population is about 8,500 with some very narrow streets. Olvera is known as a Pueblo Blanca or white village and is very prominent from all approaches. Nowadays Olvera largely survives through family cooperatives, based on agriculture, tourism and the construction industry at the coast. The views of Olvera and the surrounding countryside are spectacular, particularily grom the Arab Castle at the top of the town.
I popped over to Olvera Street recently to check on their merchandise selection for a friend. It's easy to find inspiration here in the colors and materials.
Olvera Street! It's not just for jury duty anymore.
