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.
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.
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.

Corpus Christi is a Catholic holiday that honours the Holy Eucharist. It is also known as the Feast of the āMost Holy Body of Christā, as well as the āDay of Wreathsā. Celebrated throughout Spain, it is held in either May or June depending on when Easter occurs; generally on the 8th Sunday after Easter. Today it is still typical for townsfolk to work alongside each other in carpeting the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn Corpus Christi processions that follow. Some people may also set up beautifully decorated altars in the street which the priest - leading one of the processions - is likely to stop at later. All of this adds a special ambiance and solemnity to the occasion. Certainly in Olvera, Corpus Christi is celebrated with great enthusiasm and due reverence.

The early morning fog hung on the valleys as the strong sunlight shine providing some unusual views of this beautify part of Andalucia in Southern Spain.
Pueblo Blanco is a Category 1 Campsite , situated on a typical Andalusian Farm Estate, located in the vicinity of the Via Verde de la Sierra and the village of Olvera in the province of Cadiz.
Olvera was a real treat, the camping was great and the town was excellent with a hilltop castle that afforded great views.
