Alcala de los Gazules - located at the heart of the Cadiz province, between an undulating area of hills and plains and the mountain ranges of the Alcornocales Natural Park, it offers strikingly varied scenery. As one of the locations which make up the white village route, its external appearance forms an attractive contrast with its surroundings. There are interesting places in the town itself, such as the castle, St. George's Church and St. Domingo's Convent. The village was declared an area of Historical and Artistic Importance in 1984. PROVINCE: Cádiz
Algar - this small borough, through which the River Majaceite flows, is located between the Las Cabras, Aznar and La Dehesilla mountain ranges and the countryside, though part of it also belongs to Los Alcornocales Natural Park, where El Tajo del Aguila gorge is a prominent feature. The village, part of the white village route, is made up of steep streets which are clean and well looked-after sweeping across a hill of green fields. PROVINCE: Cádiz Algodonales - located where the fertile lands of the Ronda valley meet the adjoining sierras, its scenery is a contrast of bleak, white mountain ranges and green, agricultural valleys. Conditions here are ideal for paragliding. Algodonales, of Moslem origin, stretches up the mountainside, displaying all the typical characteristics of the white villages. St. Anne's Parish Church is its most noteworthy monument. PROVINCE: Cádiz
Arcos de la Frontera - situated between countryside and mountains, the town, which features scenery typical of both, is crossed by two rivers, the Guadalete and the Majaceite. The former supplies the Bornos and Arcos reservoirs, both of which have been declared Natural Beauty Spots as fine examples of wet zones. Part of the town also falls within the boundary of Los Alcornocales Natural Park. Standing atop a rock with a sheer drop down to the river, affording spectacular views of the surrounding area, the town dates back to Moslem times. Today, recognised as a Monument of Historical and Artistic Importance, it consists of two districts. Its steep, narrow, winding streets and multitude of nooks and monuments of great beauty make it a most strikingly attractive location, the highlights of which are the Castle, and the churches of St. Mary and St. Peter. PROVINCE: Cádiz
Benaocaz - located in mountainous terrain in the north-east of the province, most of the village lies within the boundary of La Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, while a small area belongs to Los Alcornocales Natural Park. The village, a classic example of what are known as the white villages, has several places of interest to the tourist, such as the remains of the Roman Road (Calzada Romana), Tovizna Castle (Castillo de Tovizna) and the Church (Iglesia Mayor). PROVINCE: Cádiz
Bornos - located in the northern part of the province, surrounded by virtually flat scenery through which the River Guadalete flows, feeding the reservoir at Bornos.

PROVINCE: Cádiz
Casarabonela - the municipal area of Casarabonela , which stands to the west of the Guadalhorce Valley, stretches from the valley itself to the Sierra de Alcaparain y Prieta, in the Serrania de Ronda range. The village and its surroundings create a picturesque scene made up of orchards, olive groves and cereal fields, with a mountain vegetation backdrop. Though of Roman origin, the Arabs were responsible for the character and layout of its houses and streets. Places of interest include the Town Hall, St. James Parish Church, and the caves of La Hoguera, Fuentequebrada and Las Columnas. PROVINCE: Málaga
Chiclana de la Frontera - a town located in the Bay of Cadiz , where sandy terrain and pine-covered plains prevail alongside mud flats, while further inland there are still remnants of cork oak groves, such as El Pago del Humo. Most of the municipal area belongs to Cadiz Bay Natural Park, Sancti Petri Marshes Beauty Spot being a case in point. Outside of the Park stands the Chiclana Marsh Complex, which has been declared a Nature Reserve. The highlight of the coast is La Barrosa beach, an expanse of fine sands. The town centre, whitewashed and carefully looked-after, has several monuments of interest, such as St. Anne's Chapel and St. John the Baptist Church. Sancti Petri Castle, once a military fortress, is also worth a visit. PROVINCE: Cádiz Coin - an important town in the region, Coin also contains a number of places and features of interest to the tourist thanks to its geographic location at the foot of the sierras which make up the coastal range. Spots of immense beauty to be found here include the forests of Alpujata, La Fuente, El Charco del Infierno and La Albuquera. Though Coin dates back to the Roman era, it is essentially an Arabic town. Its urban structure has changed as a result of its economic strength, yet it still retains some of its original features. Its most noteworthy monuments are the churches of St. Andrew, St. John and La Vera Cruz, along with La Fuensanta Chapel. PROVINCE: Málaga
Espera - a small village located in the north of the province, near the province of Seville, amidst an area of open countryside through which the River Salado flows. It is the site of Espera Marsh Complex, consisting of three lagoons: Hondilla, Salada de Zorrilla and Dulce de Zorrilla, which has been declared a Nature Reserve. The village is spread across a hillside and crowned by Fatetar Castle, its main place of interest. PROVINCE: Cádiz Gaucin - the first Serrania de Ronda village encountered by the traveller on the road which links the Campo de Gibraltar region with Ronda itself. It displays all the charms of the white villages which from here onwards can be seen nestling in the mountains through which the River Genal flows. Its streets, of Moorish design, are perfectly adapted to the hill on which they are built and its graceful whitewashed houses are boldly decorated with grilles and balconies expertly crafted from wrought iron. At the top of the village stands the centuries-old El Aguila Castle, which is aptly named, as from it the eagle-eyed can view the African coast, Gibraltar, the River Genal and the open countryside which marks the final descent of the Genal as it meets the River Guadiaro. An obligatory port of call for any serious traveller, it is no surprise that Gaucin has stamped its unforgettable image on many a famous retina: authors such as Richard Ford, Francis Carter and Gerald Brenan felt the need to try to put their experiences of Gaucin into words. The affable, open character of the local people must certainly have played a part: in the words of the village coat of arms, they are noble, loyal and hospitable. PROVINCE: Málaga
Gauro - a small village located between Coin and Tolox dependent on the River Grande, whose fertile plains are of great agricultural importance. The village, which dates back to mediaeval times, consists of steep, winding streets of white houses concentrated around St. Michael's Church. PROVINCE: Málaga
Jimera de Libar - Jimera de Líbar is typical of the small Andalusian towns whose origins go back to Moorish times: narrow, winding streets and low, whitewashed houses that seem to adapt themselves perfectly to their environment. The area surrounding Jimera de Líbar is well suited to trekking, with many ancient lanes and pathways formerly used by shepherds. The surrounding countryside is among the most beautiful in all the Ronda Mountain region, being part of the Guadiaro Valley and the Nature Park of the Sierra de Grazalema. The name of the town derives from the Arabic Inz Almaraz or Ximera, which means The Castle of the Woman. The Romans were here too in their time, and left behind a roadway that used to link Gibraltar with the town of Acinipo. Jimera has adapted itself perfectly to changing times without losing its ancient customs and traditions, and there are a large number of rural inns, hotels and houses, along with camping facilities and cabins in which people can rest, far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. Here too one can taste the traditional cuisine of the area, admire or purchase some of the excellent craftwork done here, or have a drink of one of the delicious local liqueurs produced in the area. Population: Approx. 400 Residents known as: Jimeranos. PROVINCE: Málaga
Montellano - a municipality belonging to the Campiña regions and located in the south-eastern part of the province, bordering the province of Cadiz. Its landscape consists of fields used to cultivate cereals and olive trees. Its most important monuments are the Castle of Cotte, the Church of San José, the Hermitage of Cristo de los Remedios, the façade of the Lavader and La Fuente. PROVINCE: Sevilla
Moron de la Frontera - set in a rich agricultural region crossed by the Guadaira and Guadalete rivers, between the Sierra Sur and the Campiña region. The generally flat landscape consists of fields used to cultivate cereals, olive trees, herbaceous plants and cotton.

The marble from the local quarry is used in many of its staircases and façades. The rich history of the town is evidenced by monuments such as the Castle, the Church of San Ignacio, the Church of la Victoria, the Church of San Miguel and the Hermitage of Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Calzada. PROVINCE: Sevilla
San Jose del Valle - located between the mountains and the Jerez countryside, it features interesting aspects of both types of geography. The highlight are the Sierras de las Cabras, La Sal and El Valle areas, which are all part of Los Alcornocales Natural Park and provide the village with its abundant water supply. The village belonged to Jerez de la Frontera until 1995, when it was granted its independence, thus becoming the province's newest municipality. Places of interest are the 17th-century Carmelite Convent, Guadalcacin II Reservoir and the source of the river at El Tempul. PROVINCE: Cádiz
Zahara de la Sierra - located in the north west of the province, practically all of its municipal area belongs to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. The village, once a Nazari border fortress, stands atop a hill, at the foot of the remains of the castle, and consists of streets of stepped white houses built on the mountain slope creating a scene of immense beauty; it is not for nothing that this is considered one of the province's most attractive villages.
