What to do in Casares, Malaga| Costa del Sol| Spain

Casares is located close to Estepona and Manilva, and is also only a short drive to Gibraltar (which you can see from the top of the village). While you're in Casares, you may have enough time to add Gaucín to your daily itinerary as well. Casares has a history dating back to the pre-Roman era, and according to some references it's where Julius Caesar came to get rid of his liver disease by using the village's spa. The name Casares is said to derive from the Roman general himself, although it can also be linked to the Moorish word for castle or fortress. Casares was also one of the last Muslim strongholds in the area following the Christian reconquest in the 15th century, and much of its Moorish architecture still remains today. There's definitely no shortage of interesting history in this Andalucían white village, which is why you will also find plenty of unique things to do in Casares too. Here are my recommendations for what to do in Casares:
1. Take in the views at Centro de Recepción de Visitantes de Casares
2. Stroll through the streets of Casares
3. Stop at Plaza de España
4. Iglesia de San Sebastián
5. Casa Museo de Blas Infante
6. Arco del Arrabal
7. Castillo de Casares
8. Iglesia de la Encarnación
Casares really is one of the best destinations in southern Spain to visit if you like to get off the beaten path, this viewpoint shows the village in its entirety and is truly breathtaking.
If you're hoping to visit unique places near Marbella, or want to head to a stunning inland white village as part of a day trip from Málaga, I couldn't recommend Casares enough. Unlike other white villages near Málaga such as Benamargosa or Cútar, you'll find you can easily spend a full day exploring Casares and learning more about its history and culture. There are more than enough things to do in Casares to keep you busy, and if you find yourself craving the beach again, it's less than a 30-minute drive back to the coast!
