Algar, White village in Cadiz Province, Spain
Algar sits between the Las Cabras, Aznar, and La Dehesilla mountain ranges at 212 meters above sea level within Los Alcornocales Natural Park.
The settlement originated in 1773 when Domingo Lopez de Carvajal established a village after surviving an incident in Mexico, attracting settlers from neighboring communities.
The architecture of Algar follows the traditional White Villages pattern, with buildings featuring white-painted walls that stand out against the green mountain landscape.
The village maintains direct road connections to major Andalusian cities, with a total area of 26 square kilometers and a population of approximately 1,400 residents.
The Majaceite River crosses through the village, contributing to the Guadalcacin II reservoir and creating distinct geographical features in the surrounding terrain.
