Casares is one of the most beautiful white villages in Andalusia. The hilly location of the village ensures that it is visited by quite a few tourists every year. The church and castle are located at the highest point of the village. The Iglesia de la Encarnación was built in the early sixteenth century. During the Spanish Civil War, the building was heavily damaged, after which it became a ruin. In 2006 the church was restored to its former glory.

Sevilla & Cordoba
Het historische stadscentrum met Moorse invloeden, zoals het Koninklijke paleis Real Alcazar de Sevilla en de grote kathedraal met de Giralda-toren zijn hoogtepunten tijdens uw citytrip Sevilla. Maar ook het bekende plein Plaza de España, groene parken en de overheerlijke tapas maken Sevilla in Andalusië tot een van de mooiste steden van Spanje. Bij een bezoek aan Sevilla in Spanje zal je dan ook kunnen vaststellen dat alle clichés over het land hier zijn verenigd. In eerste instantie is Sevilla natuurlijk de bakermat van de tapas.
Córdoba is vooral dankzij de Mezquita maar ook door het gehele historische centrum één van de populairdere steden binnen Andalusië om te bezoeken. Cordoba is minder toeristisch omdat er momenteel geen rechtstreekse vluchten zijn maar heel zeer de moeite waard te bezichtigen. Heeft ook zoals ander steden een zeer rijke geschiedenis.In het jaar 1984 werd de historische binnenstad door UNESCO uitgeroepen tot Werelderfgoed en werd in 1994 nogmaals uitgebreid.
