Pueblo Blanco (White Village) of Grazalema, Spain
We enjoyed spending over a half-day exploring the beautiful white village (pueblo blanco) of Grazalema, Spain (located in the southern region, known as Andalucia - in the district of Cadiz). We enjoyed a leisurely lunch and walkabout in this small town, which had some stunning views of the valleys below (part of the beautiful Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.
As usual Ed does most of the video filming (and narrating) while I do the pretty much all of the still images and, as always, I edit it all, add music where needed and upload it to You Tube.
Exploring the White Villages of Andalusia, Spain
We rented a car, and a cottage, and traversed the narrow winding streets through the mountains of Andalusia, Spain to explore the beautiful white villages, or Pueblos Blancos.
We started off in Arcos de la Frontera with a really tasty meal. Olives stuffed with anchovies, a duck pate with raspberry jam, and we split a simple grilled mecha sandwich (pork infused with spices). The restaurant was called Café y copas La Vinoteca (
After that, we made a few pit stops in other villages, but we had to rush a bit to check-in at our Airbnb. We booked a couple nights in a cottage near El Gastor. The ride up to the cottage twisted up a hill, past sheep, onto a dirt road, and past olive orchards. The little cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was quaint, and the views were incredible. There were olive trees on the property, and the owner actually made her own olive oil that she gave us a bottle of when we arrived. She also provided us with coffee that went really well with the breath-taking view. We really loved this place.

The cottage that we stayed in:
The next morning we set our to do a loop around the giant blue watter reservoir.
First we stopped in Algodonales, a town famous for it's fresh spring water which you can drink right out of the town fountain.
Next we made it to Zahara de la Sierra, which was probably the most gorgeous thing I saw the entire 3 weeks we were in Spain. It teeters on limestone cliffs that overlook pretty much everything in Andalusia. The views across the reservoir were amazing. They also have a castle up on the very top, which we hike to and even got to climb to the top of.
After a cold beer, we finished off our day (or at least the video) in Grazalema at a restaurant called Gastrobar la Maroma ( where we ate veal burgers, shredded potatoes with fried chicken and quail egg, and a smoked salmon salad. A great meal that fueled us for a short hike in the area.
This is an incredible part of the world. The mix of Spanish culture and Moorish architecture make it a very unique place with views that will be remembered forever. The food was great. The roads were a blast to drive, and we totally fell in love with the small cottage, cooking up dinner, starting a fire to stay warm, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

Trip to - Andalusia | 2018 #triplovers
Andalusia, or Andalucia as it’s spelled in Spanish, is unique and diverse. A multi-province region spanning the southern part of Spain, Andalusia reaches from the Mediterranean Sea in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west, and from Malaga in the south to Jaen in the north, where Andalusia grazes the borders of Castilla-La Mancha, an autonomous region covering the famous plains of Spain.
With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Andalusia is a year-round destination. In summer, it’s not unusual for the thermometer to hit 40°C/104°F, or more. In winter, the inland provinces of Cordoba, Jaen and Sevilla can reach 0°C/32°F overnight, while the coasts experience milder and more moderate temperatures throughout the year.
Probably the biggest challenge in planning a trip to Andalusia is the amount and diversity of attractions: Roman ruins, Moorish castles, small white-washed hill towns, cosmopolitan cities, sunshine, beaches, natural parks, and small wineries and gastronomy are all on the menu for an Andalusia vacation.
The most difficult thing is choosing where to go and what to do and see in Andalusia!
Where to Stay in Andalusia: 5 Cities to Base Yourself in Andalusia: If you’re looking to base yourself somewhere in Andalusia, start with these 5 cities, and plan your trip from there. These also make great main stops on an Andalusia road trip.
Seville: A place like no other, we dare you not to fall in love with the orange tree-lined streets, tapas bars, and beautiful buildings.
Granada: Home to the famous Alhambra de Granada, Granada is a mix of cultures and history. Get lost in the lovely Albaicin, and count how many different views of the Alhambra you can find.
Cordoba: Come for the Great Mosque of Cordoba, stay for the charming patios, wonderful food, and beautiful old city.
Malaga: At one end of the Costa del Sol, Malaga has distinguished itself as a hub of modern culture, with more than 30 museums to keep you busy when you’re finished with sun and sea.
Cadiz: A bit further off the tourist trail than some others, Cadiz is well worth the time and effort. With a beautiful old town and lovely seaside, Cadiz is also a great base from which to visit some of the white towns.
Where to Go in Andalusia: Cities, Towns, & Villages to Visit: Get out of the main tourist cities with visits to smaller cities, as well as lovely towns, and villages. Many of these spots can be visited from one of the larger “base” cities of Andalusia.
Jaen: A hidden gem with few tourists, Jaen’s beautiful parador alone makes it worth the visit. It’s also the perfect jumping off point for visits to the UNESCO towns of Úbeda and Baeza.
Carmona: A pretty town of 30,000 between Seville and Cordoba, Carmona makes a great day trip from either city, or a nice smaller spot to base yourself if you’re not a city person.
Ronda: One of Malaga’s famed white towns, Ronda’s dramatic scenery is a top reason to visit.
More White Towns: Arcos de la Frontera and Grazalema in Cadiz province are two more lovely white towns you might want to add to your itinerary.
Villages of the Alpujarras: Not officially part of the ‘white villages’, the villages of Granada’s Alpujarras are just as beautiful, if not even more so.
Alcala la Real: Halfway between the cities of Granada and Jaen, Alcala la Real is home to the impressive La Mota Fortress

Spain Trip 2017 #13 Grazalema
Grazalema is another of Spain’s Pueblos Blancos, with charming plazas, white-washed houses, and 17th c. churches. After the Moors introduced sheep to the area, a cottage industry of woolen textile makers sprung up, one of which is still in operation with some of their old 19th c. equipment on display.

Andalucía Hill towns: Grazalema and Setinel De Las Borgas
Andalucía Hill towns - Grazalema and Setinel De Las Borgas
When my travel dreams drift off to Spain, they often include visions of Andalucía, the southern part of the country that feels more quintessentially Spanish than perhaps anywhere else. With a string of whitewashed hill towns, sunny skies, vibrant festivals, and tempting tapas, Andalucía is the soul of Spain — almost stereotypically so.
Most tourists hit Andalucía's three great cities — Granada, Córdoba, and Sevilla — or the Costa del Sol. But for something more authentic, I like exploring the region's interior along the Route of the White Hill Towns (Ruta de los Pueblos Blanchos). The middle-size towns that dot this undulating route are more accessible and friendlier than the big cities, but still pack a whallop of delightfully pure Spanish culture. Whether crouching in a ravine or perched atop a hill, each town — painted white to stay cool in scorching summers — has a personality and a story of its own.
Exploring these hill towns is easiest by car, with only the major towns easily accessible by public transportation: Arcos de la Frontera (by bus) and Ronda (by train).
My favorite is Arcos de la Frontera, a photographer's feast. Arcos smothers its hilltop, tumbling down its back like the train of a wedding dress. The fairy-tale old center is a labyrinthine wonderland, where you can viewpoint-hop all the way through town and feel the wind funnel through the narrow streets as cars inch around tight corners. Around town, I like to peek discreetly into private patios. These wonderful, cool-tiled courtyards, filled with plants, pools, and happy family activities, are typical of the whole region.
Arcos' main church — and the town's name (de la frontera means on the frontier) — are reminders of the Reconquista, the centuries-long fight to take Spain back from the Muslim Moors. After Christian forces retook Arcos, its mosque was demolished, and a church was built on its ruins. Today, these hill towns — no longer strategic — are just passing time peacefully.
From Arcos, a short drive takes you to Ronda: With nearly 35,000 people, it's the most substantial and entertaining home base on the route.
Ronda's main attractions are its gorge-spanning bridges, an intriguing old town, and one of the oldest bullrings in Spain (built in 1785). The arena's columns corral the action, creating a kind of Neoclassical theater. But the real joy lies in exploring Ronda's back streets and taking in its beautiful balconies, wispy gardens, and panoramic views. Walking the streets, you feel a strong local pride and a community where everyone seems to know everyone.
While crowded with day-tripping tourists from the nearby Costa del Sol, late in the day locals reclaim their streets and squares, and a thriving tapas scene takes over.
Ronda's breathtaking perch above a deep gorge, while visually dramatic today, was practical and vital when it was built. For the Moors, it provided a tough bastion, one of the last to be conquered by the Spaniards in 1485. The ravine divides Ronda into its old Moorish town and the relatively modern new town, which was built after the reconquest. The two towns were connected by a bridge in the late 1700s.
The dramatic road linking Arcos and Ronda cuts through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, famed throughout Spain for its lush and rugged mountain scenery. Within the park lie the towns of Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema. While Grazalema is the better overnight stop of the two, Zahara is a delight for those who want to hear only the sounds of the wind, birds, and elderly footsteps on ancient cobbles.
Tiny Zahara, in a tingly setting under a Moorish castle, has a spectacular view over a turquoise reservoir. The town had long been a strategic stronghold for the Moors, and Spanish Reconquista forces considered it the gateway to Granada. Today the castle is little more than an evocative ruin with a commanding view.
Grazalema is another postcard-pretty town, offering a royal balcony for a memorable picnic, a square where you can watch old-timers playing cards, and plenty of quiet, whitewashed streets to explore. Shops sell the town's beautiful handmade wool blankets and good-quality leather items from nearby Ubrique. While the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is known as the rainiest place in Spain, the clouds seem to wring themselves out before they reach the town — I've only ever had blue skies.
In any of these towns, evening is prime time. The promenade begins as everyone gravitates to the central square. The spotless streets are polished nightly by the feet of families licking ice cream. The whole town strolls — it's like cruising without cars. Buy an ice cream, join the parade, and soak up the essence of Spanish life.
Travel Spain - Exploring the Coastal Town of Llanes
Take a tour of Spanish Town of Llanes in Llanes, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The coastal landscape of Spain is among its most characteristic features and also accounts for its affectionate climate.
The town of Llanes is not only a popular and lovely port town but also houses several gorgeous and unique caves.
The regal 18th century Church of San Pedro stands majestically on the bank of the Cantabrian Sea.
It is due in part to the amazingly well preserved architecture of the town that Llanes has been acclaimed as a Historic-Artistic Site.
The Cubes of Memory, on the town shore, are not only a strong display of public art but have also contributed in safeguarding the harbor.
The stunning backdrop of lofty mountains set on serene waters, and beautiful town architecture make Llanes a magical destination.
