About Casares
Casares is a picture postcard village with a population of just three thousand and the view from the approach is definitely worth a photo.
The beautiful white village of Casares
To say that Casares is beautiful is an understatement. Most of the white villages are beautiful but there is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes the visitor to park the car and simply stare or take a photo. There are the sugar cubes again, piled precariously high and just nudging the battlements of an Arab castle. It is hard to believe that this enchanting, typical village is only nine miles from the hustle and bustle of the coast and somehow succeeded in avoiding the coach tour circuit.

Country Walks
There are a number of sign-posted (from the road) walks just outside the village that take you to the top of adjacent hills for even better views of the white village. Sierra Cristilina is a longer one and a natural area. The walk down the river valley to Manilva is also popular.
