Olvera Castle is one of the most iconic monuments in the White Villages of Cádiz, offering a stunning historical and visual experience. It was built in the late 12th century by the Arabs as part of the defensive system of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. After the Christian conquest, the castle was renovated several times, incorporating Christian architectural elements. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1985 and is part of the Olvera Historic-Artistic Complex.

The Castillo de Olvera is a historic fortress in the Andalusian town of Olvera (province of Cádiz). It was built by the Moors in the late 12th century and served as part of the defense system of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. The castle sits atop a 623-meter-high cliff and offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The castle has an irregular, elongated-triangular floor plan that follows the shape of the cliff. Particularly striking is the rectangular Torre del Homenaje (Keep) in the southern part of the complex. It has two stories with barrel vaults and was the central element of the defense. Other features of the fortress include a barbican-protected entrance gate, battlements, towers, an underground vault, and two cisterns for the water supply. After its conquest by Castilian troops under King Alfonso XI in 1327, the Moorish fortress was extensively rebuilt. This is where many of the Christian elements visible today were created. Since 1985, the Castillo de Olvera has been listed as a "Bien de Interés Cultural" (Cultural Property of Special Interest). Opening Hours: Summer (approx. April–October): Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. & 4:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. Winter (approx. November–March): Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. & 4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. Closed on Mondays Admission: €2 per person. Tickets are available at the Tourist Office. (As of May 2025)

An entrance fee is €2 and a visit certainly does not take long. The bike can wait in the bike rack.

Railway Tunnel No. 5 of the Sierra Greenway Nature Trail. Located 1,030 meters from the previous tunnel, it is 200 meters long and artificially lit; however, a flashlight is recommended. This tunnel crosses a hilly terrain of Triassic clays and sandstones (180 million years old), shaped by water. These are the dominant lithologies along much of the route. Half a kilometer before the tunnel entrance, the trail crosses the Cordel del Morón cattle trail, just 500 meters from the CA-9102 road that connects the town of Olvera with the Antequera A-384 road. This cattle trail will cross again along the trail at the junction of the Guadalporcún and Guadalete rivers.

After cycling for about twenty kilometres, you will arrive at the Peñon de Zaframagón mountain point. The mountain is inhabited by the griffon vulture. You can recognise the bird – if you see it up close – by its ‘fur collar’ around its otherwise bare neck. Entire families live on this 600-metre-high mountain. Dozens of birds soar high through the air in search of prey. They have chosen the location cleverly, because the mountain is situated on a gorge with a river. Sometimes a huge shadow of a bird falls over you when it is hovering just above you. That gives a strange feeling that makes you quickly look up. A little further on is a small nature museum that is particularly proud of its special camera with which you can spy on the birds. You can zoom in, which allows you to count almost every feather.
