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.

Views over the town from the Arab castle built in the 12th and 13th centuries but recently restored. 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).

The castle and keep in Olvera. While its origins remain a mystery the construntion is though to be moorish, however the are clear signs of Christian remodelling in later years.
