The most characteristic town in the mountainous region of Cádiz

Andalusia Tour ~ Cadiz (Region) Located on a mountain spur, the white houses reflect the brilliance of the Andalusian sun. Olvera is located between the Sierra de Lijars and Sierra de Harinas, and is an excellent entry point into the Sierra de Cádiz from the north. It is set among wooded hills and olive fields. From a distance, two buildings stand out for their height and size: one is an old Arab castle, of the same age as the walls and buttresses of Olvera, reformed in the Christian period; Another is the splendid neoclassical Encarnacion Church. The two together form the classic landscape of Olvera. Other undoubtedly interesting sites include the Monastery of Canos Santos, the Sanctuary of Los Remedios and the Casa de la Cilla building, the current site of the “La Frontera y los Castillos” Museum in Olvera. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
