a town with a view

Olvera is blessed with amazing views, especially the streets of the Old Town.  Built on several hills, the elevation enhances the outlook over the surrounding countryside: a patchwork of olive groves and rolling picos, with the Grazalema sierras looming on the horizon - fabulous.

Or turn round and look up towards the two iconic buildings which grace the very top of the hill, the church and the Moorish fort.















its all about the tapas

Olvera's tapas take some beating

daily views

Whichever way you turn in Olvera's Old Town, you are faced with something pretty spectacular - be it the lovely street views or the wonderful landscape which surrounds the town on all sides. 







 Today, the 1st of February, we sat in the warm sunshine and enjoyed our tapas at 'Mi Pueblo' while the noon bells pealed with some gusto at the nearby Church
