Olvera, Andalucia, Spain
Olvera is a “white town” town located in the province of Cádiz in Andalucia.
There has been a human settlement on the site of Olvera for more than 2000 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 12000 years ago. It was definitely settled as a town by the Phoenician and Roman periods
The hills surrounding Olvera are full of olive groves that provide the best extraction of olive oils in Andalucia.
Of great interest within the municipality is a large colony of Griffon Vultures to be found at Peñon de Zaframagón, a huge rock outcrop that is located 9 miles to the north west of the town.
