Osuna, Games of Thrones Tour and Olvera

Good Morning! Let's drive to Osuna.

Free parking lot in Osuna. Leave your car here and continue on foot to see the sites of this cute Andalucian pueblo.

Game of Thrones fans, rejoice!
Regardless of your thoughts on Bullfighting, you're here to view the Fighting Pits of Danzak in Meereen, as this bullring was the film setting for such a scene in Season 5, episodes 9 and 10. These scenes, shot over 17 days days in October 2014, featured over 550 stuntmen and women (including extras) and was one of the most expensive in television history.
Can you imagine a giant dragon flying in and Kaleeshi flying out? Sadly, the giant dragon is no longer on display due to vandalism and rough play.
It's a quick visit, you don't need a long time but it's pretty cool!
Opening Hours Saturday and Sunday only 10:00 - 14:00

You're in for a real treat as you experience box car-living in these converted train cars. There's more than enough space to stretch out with these "train car apartments" complete with lounge, kitchen and dining area.
Enjoy the swimming pool right outside your door, check out the adjacent museum website or freshen up with a pick-me-up coffee by visiting the "train station" cafe adjacent to your train car (it really is an old train station!).
You're all set for a great stay and best of all, you're directly on the trail to start your bike ride tomorrow morning on the Via Verde!
Note Dinner/breakfast items as well as snacks for your bike ride tomorrow can be bought later in town for meals in your apartment or you can have dinner at the suggested restaurant in town.
Breakfast IS available at the train station cafe next door but they don't open early and the service can be a bit slow if you're itching to get on the bike trail.

Plenty of parking here so snag a spot and continue on by foot to the Castle as this part of the pueblo is only accessible by foot.

This Moorish castle dates from Medieval times and was strategically placed and built into the rocks on the hilltop. Indeed, you're sure to have already been stunned by the site of it as you arrived into Olvera.
The tower from the 1200's will take you up a very narrow flight of stairs for a spectacular viewpoint, perfect for your holiday photos.
Opening Hours Everyday 10:00 - 20:00
