Casares, Malaga.
Description:
Casares is the home of Blas Infante, the founder of Andalucia. This
tiny village of only 3000 residents is deceptive at first but after
closer inspection castles, churches, tapas bars, fountains and
plazas are numerous, traditional and not to mention beautiful.
The approach to Casares is in itself spectacular. The vast expanses
of undulating and rugged countryside begin the excellent view of the
Sierra Bermeja Mountains and miles of coastline.
Upon first sight of Casares you will be stunned by the beauty of
such a village delicately perched on the mountainside. It is the
epitome of a classic Spanish white village setting and makes one
wonder how it was ever constructed.
The battlements of the Arab castle are at the crest of the village.
This, coupled with the “Mirador” viewpoint are the best vantage
points to appreciate endless countryside rolling down the valley to
the coast, Gibraltar and North Africa.
This truly is a remarkable village. It is a pleasure to lose
yourself within the network of tiny streets and walkways whilst
enjoying every detail of this unique place. As yet this still
remains another secret of the Costa del Sol. This place is a must
for all as it is only 9 miles from the coast yet feels like another
world and time. |
