Tess, your article is beautiful! The pictures are amazing! I think that an issue I'm noticing right away that may be keeping it from a niche site is that the actual text of your piece is under 1,000 words. Personally, with my own articles, I've noticed that anything under 1,000 words is looked over by editors for niche sites, especially if the ratio of pictures to words is off.
Here are some subtexts that I think would add both depth and word count to your piece:
- 200-350 words on the local cuisine.
- 80-150 words, tips on backpacking or traveling by foot through the city (including a list of what to bring with you, what to pack in your backpack, what kinds of shoes to wear...).
- 80-150 words on what means of travel are available there (besides walking) and how to obtain it.
- 80-150 words on how much money to bring with you for lodging, food, souvenirs etc.
I think this is a lovely piece that gives a glimpse into a place most of us will never get to go, but for those who may be searching for travel tips to Olvera, Spain, you want to cast your net wider

I think Trump will get another term as God's blessing rest on him. He is done a historical move by moving US embassy to Jerusalem. American Jews are in support for Trump.

Just a few things I spotted:There is a superfluous 'When' at the end of the first section.A few extra words are in here: "One of the reasons so many struggle with reading is that they because they don’t understand"As I understand it, grammatical is an adjective so I'm not sure about this...
