Description

Welcome to the Route of Cadiz, White Villages and Seville Countryside! This journey will immerse you in the historical, cultural and landscape richness of this unique region, where the White Villages, the Sevillian countryside and the Atlantic coast intertwine to offer an unforgettable experience. We start our journey in Tolox, province of Malaga, a charming village nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves. Its streets and quiet atmosphere will transport you to times gone by.

Lying on the Sierra Prieta, Casarabonela stands out for its Moorish road, its squares and the "Mora i Bravard" Botanical Garden, with the largest collection of succulents in Spain.

We continue to Atajate, a treasure among the mountains where white architecture mixes with the exuberant nature that surrounds it. The next destination is Villaluenga del Rosario, a village on the route of the White Villages that towers over the hills with breathtaking views. Here, craftsmanship and cheese-making tradition are integral to the experience. We head to Bornos, where the beauty of the reservoir and the old town weave an unforgettable landscape, marked by history and serenity.

We leave the Sevillian countryside behind to reach El Coronil, a corner that fuses typical Sevillian architecture, mixed with the hospitality of its inhabitants. Then, we enter lively Utrera, where local life and Andalusian traditions come to life in its squares and streets. The route takes us towards the Atlantic coast, to the charming Chipiona, known for its golden beaches and its emblematic lighthouse. We continue to Alcalá de los Gazules, a village that overlooks the Sevillian countryside and offers an encounter with the authenticity of rural life.

We conclude our trip in Zahara de los Atunes, where white charm meets the intense blue of the Atlantic. Its endless beaches and relaxed atmosphere offer the perfect closure to this Route of Cadiz, White Villages and Seville Countryside. Get ready to discover the unique essence of each town and immerse yourself in the diversity of this fascinating Andalusian region!
