Walking activities

We are always keen to promote Olvera whenever an opportunity arises, so in response to a request received, we are pleased to help publicise a walking club, who for the sixth year are meeting up here in Olvera to participate in several walks and outings to various destinations during April and May. A link to a blog showing the fun that's had can be seen here.
A 56 seater coach has been booked for the following outings and spaces are available for anyone interested. As follows:

Saturday 30th April leaving at 10.00am to Malaga old town. Returning at 18.00hrs, arriving back in Olvera at approximately 20.00hrs.

Sunday 1st May to the Jerez Fiesta. Departing at 15.00hrs, returning to Olvera at midnight.

Wednesday 4th May to Cordoba, departing at 10.00am returning at 18.00hrs.

Places are available and can be booked through Fiona at AlfiCasa on telephone(s) (0034) 622366214/956130186 or email info@alficasa.com. Prices are yet to be fixed but we are told will be of good value.

The 24 seater coach is fully booked for the walking activities but anyone interested is more than welcome to meet with the group at the start point of each walk. More details regarding meeting points and timings can be obtained by contacting the organiser, Eric Cookney, at cookney@ntlworld.com.
