I came across the small alleyway pictured right, entered from a small Plaza, and remembered that it was where we viewed a property on our first trip to Olvera in September 2006. It was potentially a lovely house with a bit of work to be done on it, two roof terraces, but unfortunately a little out of our budget if you added in the refurbishment costs. According to the estate agent's website, it is still for sale.
Work still ongoing throughout the town to replace the old drainage systems.
Here's a nice "des res" for someone with a few bob to spare. Bet you could get this for a song.
The Adult Education Centre, where we go on Friday morning's for our spanish language lessons.
This is the newest Plaza in Olvera, built above a restaurant which is yet to open. Hopefully, the restaurant will be open by the summer as the views from here towards the village of Pruna and beyond are spectacular.
A mural on a wall at the bottom end of town. Not sure what it is meant to depict but it certainly brightens up what would otherwise be a plain wall.
An impressive entrance to one of the older houses at the top of town.
A tiled plaque depicting the "Nuestra Senora De Los Remedios", patron saint of Olvera, at the entrance to the Plaza de Ayuntamiento (Town Hall square).
Oh, and yes, I did eventually find a card.
