Olvera this evening

A few pictures taken tonight between 6.30pm and 8pm during our stroll around Olvera. The temperature is 36°C and very humid with no breeze.
From tomorrow, a heatwave is forecast with temperatures rising in some areas to between 40° and 42°C over the next week. Better get that sun lounger out on the terrace again in the hope of being able to sleep!!.
Pictured above is the view up Calle Ronda.

Here, Don Quixote and his aide Sancho Panza shelter under the palm in the garden outside the Bar El Rincon.
The new mirador and play area being created on Calle Vereda Ancha which when completed will offer a pleasant area in which to sit and admire the views to the mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema and the Serrania de Ronda.



Avenida Julian Besteiro, the main entrance into Olvera from the east.



We sat for a while in the Bar La Jarrita overlooking the Plaza de la Concordia.


Calle Calvario and below looking up Calle Victoria. Nearly home now.











The Feria season is upon us and posters are appearing in town of the "Casetas" (marquees holding dances, music and entertainment) open to the public on the Feria ground.
Many casetas are private, set up and organised by individual family's from Olvera, entry to which is by invitation only.
