Attracted by the fine sandy, unspoilt beaches, which even in summer time are relatively uncrowded, and the excellent climate many choose to return to Oliva year after year.
Oliva still has the remains of an ancient Moorish castle and the town has two attractive blue domed churches (Santa Maria and Sant Roc) and a maze of winding cobbled streets.
