Our Story
We are a Canadian couple who have lived abroad for the last 20 years in some of the world's largest cities - Shanghai, London, Madrid, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and Barcelona. Our current adventure takes us to Olvera, a small pueblo in southern Spain, population less than 10,000. It has been a bit of a shock to the system and required a sizable mental shift.
We first visited this region of Spain 15 years ago while living in London and fell in love with the "white villages" (los pueblos blancos), the clear blue skies, streets lined with orange & lemon trees, and the heavenly stars at night. We are back, but this time to stay.
After so many years living and working abroad, we decided to take a career break. For the last couple of years we have done some interesting travel and had lots of long discussions about next steps and future plans.
And so, here we are, back to the White Villages of Andalucia and to the town of Olvera in Cádiz province.
We purchased a glorious old townhouse, centrally located in the historic part of Olvera close to the Moorish Castle and the beautiful Church. After undertaking a serious renovation we have opened our doors as a Bed & Breakfast for the town and surrounding area.
We look forward to welcoming you, sharing stories and helping to make your visit to this part of the world a relaxing and comfortable one!
