It's one of Andalusia's most iconic villages, perched on a rock with spectacular views of the Guadalete River. Its narrow, steep streets, whitewashed houses, and viewpoints invite you to wander leisurely. Furthermore, its historic center, declared a Historic-Artistic Site, perfectly reflects the essence of the White Villages.

(Santa Teresa Jornet) In the lower town, on the Plaza de la Caridad, you will come across the Convento de la Caridad from the mid-18th century with a very clear colonial appearance. The portal of the church entrance is very beautiful. Today, the former convent houses a home for the elderly

This house-palace is located in Modesto Gómez Square number 1 (in the lower quarter) and was built in the 18th century. The facade of the building has a stone entrance, crowned by a coat of arms, also made of stone and finished with a marquis crown; it represents the surnames García, Veas, Gómez, Guerra, Sevillano, Lara and Ayllón. Inside there is a central patio around which the place is arranged.

I will especially remember the steep slopes to get there.

Beautiful viewpoint on the Embalse de Arcos

The Salinas Romanas de Iptuci are located in Prado del Rey, in the province of Cádiz and are one of the last inland salt production areas still in use in the province. These salt production areas have a rich history dating back to the Phoenicians, approximately 3,000 years ago, and were later developed during the Roman period. The salt production areas use hot underground springs that bring water with a high salt content to the surface. The water is gradually concentrated in different basins, where the salt crystals are finally isolated by evaporation under the sun.

The Puerta Matrera is the only remaining gate of the original city wall of Arcos de la Frontera. This gate connects the old town centre with the Barrio Bajo. It is a historically important building that was restored in the 17th and 18th centuries. From here you can still see remains of the city wall between the houses. The gate also has a small chapel with a statue of the Virgen del Pilar, which has been recently restored.

The town, situated on a rocky plateau, invites you to travel through time. From the 11th century it was the capital of a taifa, a small Berber kingdom. The fortified town was finally reconquered in 1264 by Alfonso X, who also took Seville, Jerez and Cádiz during the Reconquista. For two centuries Arcos was an outpost on the border of the kingdom and in the 15th century the village came into the hands of the Ponce de León family, who played a major role in the victory over the kingdom of Granada. During the 19th century, Arcos acquired its current appearance thanks to the rise of olive and grape cultivation and horse breeding.
