Informations supplémentaires:
The beautiful Spanish hilltop Town of Olvera is situated in the province of Cadiz, with its proud ornate Church and historic castle. The white sugar cube housing contrasting with a striking cloudless blue sky. This picturesque town is off the tourist track, hidden deep in inland Andalucia, Andalusia. Its remarkable castle, probably the finest surviving example in the region, has recently been renovated. There has been a human settlement on the site of Olvera for more than two thousand years. Archaeological findings suggest this verdant agricultural region north-east of Ronda was an important area for settlement as far back as the Palaeolithic era, at least twelve thousand years ago. It was definitely settled as a town by the Phoenician and Roman periods, the latter calling it either Hippa or Hippo Nova.
