"Charming nativity scheme outside the church in La Oliva. We spotted it from the bus on our way home from a walk."

"We visited Olivia as the town hall had offered guided tours every Friday in traditional costumes, despite there being a selection of visitors waiting no sign of life or guides."
Paul Illingworth
"Beautiful market with local vegetables & fruits and art. Very good quality products, if it was open every day that is where we would buy all our vegetables and fruits."
