On our way to Olvera
In India we come up with the idea that it might be nice to spend winter in Spain. We look at the internet for long-term rentals. We find a site which rents places in a beautiful looking traditional village. We send an email with the question if we can come and have a look. Soon we have an enthusiastic reply, so we are on our way to Olvera.

Living in Olvera for a while
From a distance Olvera looks like a dot of white paint on a mountain. The first time we were looking at the village was from a distance of 20 km away. "That's it Steve, that's the place where we are going to live for a while!"

Stay or go?
We are walking trough the small and steep streets of Olvera, on our way to the bakery. Everybody greets us with a smile and says: "Hola, hace frio!" Yes, it's cold and we are very happy with our temporary casa. The moment the sun shines through the clouds it's lovely and we change our long sleeves for a t-shirt. It's great to explore the surroundings of the village. Sometimes we cycle, but most of the times we are walking around. From our patio we can see all the small roads leading their ways trough the olive fields and we try them all.

Presentation at the cycle club of Olvera
After a nice encounter in the library of Olvera, Reme asked us to give a presentation about our travel experiences. She informed the cycle club of Olvera about our presence in the village and soon we received an invitation.
The only thing that made us a bit worried was our Spanish, which isn't good enough for a presentation....but that was solved quickly: Annabella, the local English teacher would translate everything.
At Tuesday afternoon around 25 people came to listen to our stories.. We showed pictures about our travels and told about our experiences. It was a very nice afternoon.
