Casares

The white buildings of Casares rise from a steep cliff, forming a cascade of cubic structures topped by a medieval castle at 435 meters elevation.

Julius Caesar ordered the construction of this settlement after experiencing the healing properties of local sulfurous waters during Roman times.

The birthplace of Blas Infante, considered the father of Andalusian nationalism, contains numerous historical structures that received protected status in 1978.

Visitors can reach Casares through the L-77 bus service that connects the village with coastal towns including Manilva, Estepona, and Marbella twice daily.

The village maintains traditional front doors open throughout its narrow streets, allowing visitors to observe daily local life while walking through town.
