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.

Inclusions: Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Guided visit to Zahara de la Sierra, Guided visit to Grazalema, Guided visit to Arcos de la Frontera

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! ????

I grew up around the corner and have taken many tours and have arranged them, This old Port/Town is packed with History, architecture, Food and Drinks. Situated on a narrow slice of land surrounded by the sea‚ Cádiz is a typically Andalusian city with amazingly attractive views and historical landmarks. The older part of Cádiz within the remnants of the city walls is commonly referred to as the Old Town If your here in February The Carnival of Cádiz is one of the best known carnivals in the world. Throughout the year, carnival-related activities are almost constant in the city; there are always rehearsals, public demonstrations, and contests of various kinds. The Carnival of Cádiz is famous for groups called chirigotas, who perform comical musical pieces. Typically a chirigota is composed of seven to twelve performers who sing, act and improvise accompanied by guitars, kazoos, a bass drum, and a variety of noise-makers. The food & Drink here is amazing as well, please do try all you can,

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
