Having lived in Spain and having a relative named Olalla , pronounced O-lie-yuh, hearing O-La-La sounded ridiculous for an otherwise excellent reading. There are reference books such as Spanish English Dictionaries that provide correct pronunciation to stay true to the narration. A little research goes a long way.

The family were misunderstood. OK not sure about the muleteers friend miguel and what happened there. Whats your insight?
