Our travel guide to Olvera
Olvera, in the Sierra de Cádiz, is a mixture of styles from different cultures that make up a beautiful village crowned by a majestic castle. Its natural environment, location, culinary offer and activities are well worth a visit. Thanks to this Travel Guide to Olvera you can find all the activities and the best travel tips for your trip.
The Roman Hippa or Hippo Nova, of Arab roots, is located at the foot of a cliff topped by its impressive castle. Declared a Historic Complex, its city centre presents an exquisite mix of Moorish heritage, popular architecture and monumental beauty, with its stately palatial façades.
The Barrio de la Villa sits on what was the primitive old town. The Arciprestal Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación and the castle, a 12th-century Muslim fortress that still retains walls, towers and the Tower Keep, make its way through its labyrinthine and marked wall canvases.
Already on the outskirts we find the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Sanctuary and the Convent of Caños Santos. A visit to the “Olvera. La Frontera y los Castillos” Museum, located in the magnificent building of the Casa de la Cilla, will allow visitors to learn about the important role played by the sierra de Cádiz as a border in the Nasrid kingdom.
It is interesting to visit the Rock of Zaframagón, a natural reserve that houses one of the largest colonies of griffon vultures in Europe. You can also enjoy nature in the Sierra de Líjar or making the itinerary of the Vía Verde de la Sierra.
Main Activities: Nature, Active Tourism, Cuisine, Culture.
