Arcos de la Frontera (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈarkoz ðe la fɾonˈteɾa]) is a town and municipality in the Sierra de Cádiz comarca, province of Cádiz, in Andalusia, Spain. It is located on the Northern, Western and Southern banks of the Guadalete river, which flows around three sides of the city under towering vertical cliffs, to Jerez and on to the Bay of Cádiz. The town commands a fine vista atop a sandstone ridge, from which the peak of San Cristóbal and the Guadalete Valley can be seen. The town gained its name by being the frontier of Spain's 13th century battle with the Moors.

We let the company know we would be on a cruise. They did not send us the meeting place before we left but provided a phone contact number. Upon arrival at Cadiz we found the number had been disconnected. We had help from two other tour operators that were very kind but also unable to contact our tour company. We wandered around for quite some time looking for anyone with a sign or our group to no avail, the tour was missed. When I requested a refund, my request was denied. They said other people were able to find them and they were not responsible for the inaccurate contact information. My error; I should have read some of the other reviews before booking!! Lesson learned, read reviews!

Enjoy a private tour to the White Towns of Andalusia. The White Towns of Andalusia are a series of towns in southern Spain, mostly within Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. All of the villages are characterized by white washed walls and red or brown tiled roofs. Some say that these villages paint the white house to ward off the intense summer heat that affects mainly the towns along the Sierra de Grazalema. But keep whitewashed houses is a very ancient custom in the Mediterranean to disinfect the environment in the plague epidemic period. The lime mixed with water produces a high heat kill any microorganism. Therefore, people living in cities with houses "whitewashed" ended up escaping more disease than those who did not. Today times have changed, but the tradition is still alive, somehow, marking the time to paint the facades ( "whitewashed"). So much so that in some pueblos blancos, you can paint the exteriors of homes without taxes.

Gabriella and Juan were wonderful tour guides - we learned so much and saw some wonderful sites. They picked us up from our hotel right on time and we enjoyed an entertaining and educational road trip to Ronda. We loved this town and the great stores about Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles made it even more enjoyable. Sentinil is such a cute town as well and the houses and bars against the mountain are so unique! We had a great time and we highly recommend this tour! ????

Born in Vejer and I live in Seville, besides living in Granada and Córdoba. I know Andalusia in depth. For 2 years I was responsible for the Forge XXI Foundation in Morocco, which worked for the personal and professional development of children. There we discovered the possibilities offered by activities related to tourism and history. And there began my love for Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures. I have been working as a guide for more than 10 years and I have organized routes for the IES Vicente Aleixandre, in meetings with International Students. I have a degree in Psychology and Expert in History of Spain

Our show tonight (Wednesday, 3/11/20) was a highlight of our week in Madrid and the deal of the century. 20 Euros got us a drink and almost a two hour show. The passion and excellence of this group (3 dancers, 1 singer and 1 guitarist) was incredible. The love for what they do is clearly evident. Passion beyond belief; every expression meant something, every movement contributed to the intensity build through the show. Highly recommended!!! Skip the touristy versions of flamenco and come out this small neighborhood stage for a show that will absolutely nock your socks off. Thank-you
