Beyond Estepona, 8 km along the coast, there's a minor road leading into the hills to Casares, one of the classic andaluz white town

In keeping with the genre, it clings tenaciously to a steep, hillside below a castle, and has attracted its fais share of arty types and expatriates. But it remains comparetively little known.

Futher west, 3 Km inland from the village of Manilva, are some remarkably well-preserved Roman sulphur baths. If you want to partake of these healthgiving waters you'll have to be prepared to dive into a subterranean carven, and to put up with the overpowering stench of sulphur, which clings to your swimwear for weeks.

Casares is a picture postcard village with a population of just three thousand and the view from the approach is definitely worth a photo. To say that Casares is beautiful is an understatement.
Most of the white villages are beautiful but there is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes the visitor to park the car and simply stare or take a photo.
