Postcard from my collection. A touch old Mexico, Olvera Street, Los Angeles, California.
Manufactured by Tichor Art Company, L.A.
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.
July 2015. A small, but beautiful rock garden, el Peñón del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús (the Rock of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), can be found by climbing a few steps up from one of Olvera's main squares, the 'Plaza de Andalusia'. Although there aren't many birds at this time of year, it's still a lovely and peaceful place to explore on a summer's evening. 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.

Took the Metrolink train to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles for a day of exploring the area around Olvera Street. These crosses were in one of the many shops there.
Los Angeles was founded in 1781 on a site southeast of Olvera Street near the Los Angeles River by a group of Spanish pobladores (settlers), consisting of 11 families. Olvera Street is in the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles, California, and is part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument.
Olvera Street, in Downtown LA, is right in the heart of where all of Los Angeles began. Part of the historic El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, it is a bustling open-air market nestled amongst 27 historic buildings, including the Avila Adobe. Olvera Street is alive with history, culture and an air that is unique to Los Angeles itself.
These earrings, inspired by Olvera Street, feature sterling silver (925) fish hook earrings with hand-woven red cotton cord macramé and blue and red millefiori glass beads.
These earrings are SO unique and hip! They definitely make a statement -- a funky one! They've got kind of a Southwest flair to them, but they're still pretty stylish, super lightweight and fun to wear.
