Casares - a white village in the hills
Thursday, February 5, 2009 @ 5:05 PM
Drive 10 minutes from the Casares del Sol apartments into the hills, following the windy road away from the coast.
Casares is a traditional white Spanish village set precariously on the hills, with houses built into the rocks and narrow streets. It has been called one of the finest 'white vllages' in Spain and so far is relatively untouched by tourists.
Park your car and walk down through the narrow alley ways, too small for cars, to the market square. Walk up to the old castle and look out for miles over the Costa del Sol countryside across the wind farm to Gibraltar and back to Casares Costa. See the eagles and other birds flying overhead and into the cliff face - note the beautifully kept cemetory perched high on the hill top along with the church. Enjoy a drink at the hill top cafe.
A lovely day out.
