Pueblo Blanco (White Towns)

We had been using trains to get to most of our destinations in Spain but in order to visit the White Towns, we needed to hire a car. I found a great deal for what I thought was a small car for only €25 for 3 days, but it really wasn't small enough! These towns were built before cars and some of the roads were very narrow.

I chose three towns to stay in for one night each, visiting a few others along the way.

Vejer de la Frontera - 63km from Cadiz
Jimena de la Frontera -  106 km
Gaucin - 26km
Ronda 39km
Setenil de las Bodegas - 16km
Olvera - 30km
Zahara de la Sierra - 30km
Grazalema - 30km
Arcos de la Frontera - 49km
Back to Cadiz to drop off the car

Ronda

The first town was Ronda. We had an apartment in the centre of town and luckily found a car park nearly outside and that's where our car stayed until we left. Rhonda is known for the bridge that spans a 120 metre chasm. To get this photo we had to be a fair way down and it was a bit tricky working out where we needed to be and also very slippery walking down the cobbled road to get there.




There is a bull ring there that still holds bull fights

Zahara de la Sierra 

This hilltop town sits on a mountain looking over a valley. The ruins of an old fortified castle sits at the highest point. It's origins go back to the 1400's. This town is very small and finding places to eat was difficult.

Arcos de la Frontera

The roads around this town are very narrow, so it's best to have a small car. We stayed in a BnB in the old quarter and although we managed to drive to the door to drop off our suitcases, we had to park outside the old area. Tapas is great there as it allows you to eat a little bit of everything when you don't have days to sample everything on the menu. This was our favourite white town.
