Zuheros Town, Cordoba, History, Charm and Stunning Views

It´s not the first time Zuheros has featured here on Andalucia Explorer. This very charming, white-washed hillside town is just 45 minutes from home and a favourite to take visitors too.

Monday Morning Photo - Cave Paintings in Malaga, Cueva de la Pileta

One weekend recently while staying at the lovely Hotel Los Castaños I asked resident owners Di & John 8now retired) where they would take family visiting for the first time and the incredible cave Pilate with paleolithic and neolithic cave paintings was one of the top choices - so we went.

Cueva de la Pileta


Hotel Los Castaños is in the small white village of Cartajima in the Serrania de Ronda mountains near the stunning town of Ronda in Malaga province.

Update: Hotel Los Castaños has now changed hands.
