   I think it looks good, but personally I'd start with the "Views from Olvera" section as your first paragraph instead of the current one.   Follow it with the image of you on the moonlit night. Those two things establish your credentials to write about the place, and gives the reader confidence in your opinions.
   
   I would immediately follow that with the "Backpackers' delight" paragraph.  Then your paragraph about retirees (with a suitable heading), followed by the image of the guitarist - the caption about the English community will give retirees confidence.
   
   From that point on, you can start posting images and information, arranged however you like.  Don't forget to include your original first paragraph somewhere. In my opinion, the section about the pueblo blanca policy should be right at the end, with the images of the houses - for me that was the least interesting part of the piece.

   I look for quick info.
   
   I want to know:
   Where a place is (with a map).
   What kind of people visit/live there
   What there is to do -- swimming, walking, climbing, horse-riding, bandit-dodging, whatever
   Places to visit -- markets, museums, parks etc
   Nightlife
   Hotels (with prices)
   Climate
   Nearby towns
   I also like the history (in brief)
   Best to give old folks an idea of what they can do, what kids can do etc, etc
   
   And I like it in easy-to-scan, well labelled sections. But you know, that is just the way I am.
   
   For real traffic it might be better to go for something like 'castles in southern Spain', or 'white hill towns Spain'...
   
   Google Searches related to 'white hill towns spain':
   
   white villages spain map
   white towns spain map
   pueblos blancos spain map
   pueblos blancos map
   white towns of andalusia
   arcos de la frontera spain
   pueblos blancos route
   route of the white towns
   
   There is not much competition for those terms, incidentally.

   No, I don't think there is - except on your own phone, of course.

      So, I know this is a lot to ask, but if you get a moment, anytime it's convenient, could you, would you check the link to Ann Carr article and tell me what you see on mobile view with regard to thumbnail situation, I'm curious. No pressure...

         I have an old, fairly small phone so I'm probably not the best judge. 
         
         On my phone, the thumbnails are pretty useless.  I can click on them to see them full-size - however the thumbnails are so small, I can't tell whether they're worth making the effort, so I probably wouldn't bother, I'd just go on reading.  On an iphone or tablet, they might be OK.
