CASARES
Another journey into the mountains, about 40km from Nueva Andalucía, took us to Casares. We climbed through its vertiginous small streets. At the top, the view from the 12th century castle is precious. You look down an incalculable number of white houses.

The occupying Moors established this town who surrendered to the Catholic forces after the fall of Ronda in 1485.
A story has it that when Julius Caesar visited the area surrounding this small town, he ordered the construction of the village due to the curative properties of the sulphurous and alkaline waters on a skin infection, which had plagued him since childhood.

Casares hugs the edge of a cliff and is considered to one of the most stunning ‘pueblos blancos’– white villages of Andalucía. These charming towns are very popular amongst tourists anxious to escape the multitudes of multitudes.
