Casares

Casares is a white hilltop village at over 400 m in the Sierra Bermeja, its houses climbing a steep limestone ridge below the ruins of its castle. It has been a protected historic-artistic site since 1978 and is often listed among Spain's most beautiful villages. The municipality also has a short coastal strip, Casares Costa, with beaches, golf and resort hotels.
