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)

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.

The village is dominated by the heavy keep of the castle and the neoclassical silhouette of the Iglesia de la Encarnación, which towers over the old quarter with steep alleys and white houses.
