A walk through white alleys and viewpoints

Feel free to start in the lower part of the village and make your way up through the narrow, cobbled streets. Along the way, you’ll pass whitewashed houses with flowers on their balconies, small squares and quiet corners overlooking the valleys.

Stop at a local café for coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice before continuing upwards towards the older parts of the village.

Up against the castle

One of the best hikes is to walk right up to the ruins of the Moorish castle. Here the landscape opens up and on a clear day you can see all the way to Gibraltar and Africa.

On the way up, you’ll find small chapels, historic buildings and viewpoints that invite you to stop.

The atmosphere in Casares

It’s the tranquillity that makes Casares special. The sound of church bells, the scent of jasmine and narrow streets that suddenly open up to panoramic views give the place an atmosphere all of its own.

• Wear good shoes – the streets are steep and cobbled
