Grey and overcast........

 .......but still warmish for the time of year at about 12°C. Here, Calle Carmona and below Calle Pulido.


On Calle Vereda Ancha and below the view of low cloud blanketing the Sierra de Grazalema in the distance.

 Looking up to Vereda Ancha and the peñóns of Sagrado Corazón and the park area of Cerretillo.
The umbrella crop is doing well this year!.
 Calle Teresa de León and below Calle Albéniz.


 Work continues on the new recreation area in Avenida Diputación.

Overcast......

.....but still fairly warm at about 14°C this afternoon.
The mild weather is awakening some early flowers.

For a short while, Calcetines' grandmother joined us on our walk.
Calle Bellavista here and below.

Ever get the feeling you're being watched.


Looking down Calle Victoria.
New flags depict the official status of the newly designated "Municipal School of Music and Dance" on Calle Llana.

A son of Olvera

 A wander this morning up to the Plaza de la Iglesia revealed a new view of an oft neglected viewpoint. A tiled plaque has been placed commemorating the Spanish conquistadors discovery and exploration of Central and South America led by Francisco Pizarro, one of whose members was Nicolás de Ribera who was born in Olvera and subsequently became the first mayor of Lima, Peru in 1535.
 Benches have been placed to enjoy the view's pictured below but sadly spoilt by the amount of dog mess everywhere.





Views here to the south and below to the west on a chilly, breezy morning.



 The views over Olvera from the front of the Iglesia Parroquial.

A misty, drizzly .......

 Visibility about 200 metres.


However, by about 11am the mist and rain had cleared and the temperature had risen to a warmish 13.5°C. Here, Calle Pozo.
 Here and below looking up and down Calle Carmona.
