Just north of
Ronda
and surrounded
by national
park is a
beautiful
white village,
typical of
this area.
Olvira has an
estimated
9,000
inhabitants.
The town is
long and
narrow, its
centre being
the Plaza de
la Concordia.
The most
interesting
part of the
town is the
west side,
with the
castle and the
large church
which
overlooks the
rooftops. |

The Castle at
Olvera can be
seen from
miles around
and the trip
to the top is
well worth the
effort. You
can drive
almost to the
top of the
village. There
is limited
parking at the
foot of the
castle and in
the council
square.
Tickets for
entry into the
castle can be
bought at the
tourist office
which is
located at the
castle.
Tickets are
just 1.25€
each. The
castle has
been restored
to a certain
extent. There
is also a
museum,
included in
the entry
price. |

The
impressive
church
is
located
close
to
the
castle.
The
Plaza
de
la
Iglesia
(Church
Square)
has
wonderful
panoramic
viewpoints,
overlooking
the
town.
At
the
side
of
the
church
is
the
town's
cemetery,
a
traditional,
Andalucian
design.
From
Olvera,
take
the
short
drive
to
Setenil
to
see
the
strange
cave
houses. |
