Olvera Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Olvera

The city, built on a 643-m-high mountain, is visible from afar and because of its unique silhouette motif on many Andalusian postcards. Originating from the Roman Hippa Nova and later the Moorish Wubira, the Moorish castle was taken in 1327 by the troops of the Christian King Alfonso XI. In the 16th century, several people of the city were instrumental in the conquest of Peru and Pánama. Today the city is a local centre for agriculture and is enjoying increasing tourist attention.
