One of our favourite walks with Peppie our dog, and an area that I have sadly not photographed in any previous posts is the " Casco el Antiguo" or old part of Olvera.
This is the area at the top of town, contained within the old walls of the castle, whose streets and alleyways date back to the 13th and 14th centuries.
Our walk starts just around the corner from where we live and winds up the narrow streets to the Plaza de la Iglesia.
Until recently, this area had been spoiled by graffiti but we were glad to see that it had now been re-painted and cleaned up.
Looking across Olvera.
Properties waiting for new owners. Once reformed, the views from here towards El Gastor and Zahara would be fantastic
We entered the Plaza de la Iglesia at the top of town and rested for a while on a bench under the shade of a tree.
The temperature must have been at least 35 degrees.
The castle and the Church of Nuestra Senora de la Encarnación.
Leaving the Plaza and heading back down towards the Plaza de la Ayuntamiento and home.

It was lovely to see this. You have a photo of my street, Calle Manco. Still enjoying reading your blog.
