Casares

Casares is one of the most photographed white villages on the Costa del Sol, spectacularly built against a steep cliff with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea. 

The history of the village is legendary and dates back to Roman times, with the name according to tradition derived from Julius Caesar who sought healing here in the local sulfur springs. The climate is Mediterranean and refreshing, with the higher elevation in the mountains providing a pleasant coolness during the hot summer months and mild winters with plenty of sunlight.

The main attractions are the ruins of the Moorish castle at the top of the hill and the historical baths of La Hedionda where one can still bathe in mineral water. The local gastronomy is known for its hearty mountain dishes such as "Conejo a la Montañesa" and fresh goat cheese, served in both authentic village inns and the luxurious restaurants on the coastal strip. For golf enthusiasts, Casares is an absolute prime location, as it is home to the world-famous Finca Cortesín, one of the most exclusive golf resorts in all of Europe.

The residents form a proud community of local families who cherish their traditions and international residents who appreciate the peace and artistic atmosphere of the village. The surroundings offer a spectacular contrast between the rugged limestone rocks of the Sierra Crestellina and the modern villa districts that extend down to the azure coastline. Living in Casares offers many advantages, including an authentic Spanish lifestyle in a protected natural environment, while the fashionable harbors of Estepona and Sotogrande remain within easy reach.
