Guide to Olvera from idealspain.com
Just north of Ronda and surrounded by national park is a beautiful white
village, typical of this area. 
Olvera 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.
