Casares is a picture book Spanish village - below and on powerful cliffs with the old, Moorish castle, the white houses with their red roofs. The mountain city with 3500 residents contains one of the best preserved city centres in all of Andalusia and has been under protection as a landmark since 1978. The current city centre comes from Arabian origin and the rest of the fortress come from this time - it imposes more than 400m above sea level. The most important festival in Casares occurs in August. Also worth mentioning is the pilgrimage to the Virgen del Rosario chapel, the festival in September devoted to the virgin Virgen del Rosario del Campo and the Feria del Santo Cristo (village festival), also during September. Nearby you will find great hiking routes and climbing areas. The closest beach on the Costa del Sol is only 11km away through the stunning mountain landscape. Casares is located on the border of the provinces of Malaga and Cadiz in the Sierra Bermeja.
