Andalusia’s White Villages
Last updated: August 5, 2025
Short walks, ridges, olive roads, and plazas that glow at dusk.
Ronda: Bridges & Balconies
Loop the miradores on both sides of El Tajo; the gorge gives a different line at each balcony.
Zahara de la Sierra: Ridge to the Tower
A stone path climbs to a tower with turquoise reservoir views; olive groves fold to the horizon.
Grazalema: Cork Oaks & Switchbacks
Take a morning ramble into the cork forest; the village reenters view in white and slate.
Practical & Bases
- Base: Ronda for balconies; Zahara/Grazalema for village pace.
- Season: spring for wildflowers; fall for long golden afternoons.
- Driving: mountain switchbacks—park before tight old towns.
