Places in Spain - Casares, Costa del Sol

 

On the Costa del Sol, within Andalucia, and close to Estepona, stands a unique Spanish village nestled in the hillside with its white-painted houses interlaced with tiny streets. Casares has been inhabited for thousands of years by a myriad of civilisations, each leaving its mark. Besides walking along the narrow, cobbled streets with their Moorish design, one should not miss the opportunity to see the Arab Castle at the top of the hill where the views are spectacular. Along the way, walk through the town square and get a taste of real Spain where women go about their business, cloaked in black shawls and men pass the time away socialising.

   

 
Tiny village shops full of local produce hide round every corner with a scattering of small bars and cafes thrown in for good measure. Local pottery and leatherwork are very good buys. The town is almost untouched by tourism. Casares has its own little museum with artefacts dating from the Roman times. The whole town is a photographer's paradise. In Roman times the town was of such importance that it had its own mint and Roman baths which were ordered to be built by Caesar as a sign of gratitude to being cured of a skin complaint after bathing in the sulphurous waters in the locality. Numerous Roman ruins lie close by, including part of an aqueduct. A truly, sleepy village, locked in time. The local fiestas take place in the first two weeks of August and the Cristo fair takes place in September when the village comes alive.

Our travels to Casares
its one of those villages we can't stay away from. Every visit has yielded character and charm. The road from the coast is a bit of a trek and its impossible to get a car into the village. its hard work walking through the village as its all uphill but through all this, the sights from the top are stunning, the people here are friendly and very 'Andalucian'. And the square is ideally situated in the middle - perfect every time, to stop for a beer on the way up. Make sure you get to the castle ruins at the top. The views over the rooftops are splendid.
 

 

Market day in Casares is Friday but don't expect more than a couple of stalls selling the essentials.

 

 

From Casares, head towards the coast and stumble upon the wonderful port of Duquesa.
