Olvera is one of Spain's official white villages (also called white towns, white cities, or Pueblos Blancos), a string of white-washed towns that often sit atop hills in the provinces of Málaga and Cádiz. Olvera is a small village but one with a dramatic presence with its cathedral and castle sitting high atop the hill and overlooking the valleys below. It's a town that pairs nicely with other white villages, including Ronda, Zahara de la Sierra, Grazalema, and Sentil de las Bodegas, to name a few. As a 700-year-old village, Olvera has a diverse history with several cultural influences. The town's original Moorish walls still enclose its Old Town, and the 12th-century Arab castle dominates its skyline. Next door to the castle is a 19th-century cathedral built upon the foundation of a Moorish church. As a self-guided tour, you can cater your day in the village to your interests, though upon booking, we'll provide you with all the practical information you'll need, plus personalized insider tips on how to enjoy your time.

Combine a bit of action, adrenaline, and outdoors by spending the morning scaling the sheer walls of a Via Ferrata course. Via Ferrata are abandoned ladder systems built into the side of cliff faces for when workers were employed to protect and fortify the rock surfaces to avoid landslides. You'll find these all over Europe, and many years later, they now serve as an outdoor climbing course! Via Ferrata is a fun, exciting, and very safe activity for all ages. Feel the adrenaline and take in the incredible views of Ronda's countryside from the cliffs.Discover more experiences in and around Ronda.
