Arcos de la Frontera, where we will start the white route
It is known as the gateway to the white villages of Cádiz. As expected, the first thing that will catch our attention is the white houses. However, the architecture created during the Christian era of this town make it a place that you can not miss if you are a lover of history.
You must visit the Plaza de Cabildo, the Cuesta de Belén and the Church of San Pedro. As you can imagine what to see in Arcos de la Frontera are its monuments and old buildings that survived the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
Routes by Grazalema can not miss
One of the first places you must visit in Grazalema is the Mirador de Asomaderos, next to the tourist office. The main monument that you will find in Grazalema is the Monument to the bull of Cuerda that is a tribute to the traditional celebration of the town.
In the center of town you will find the Plaza de España where the Aurora Church is located. A temple from the Renaissance period that suffered the Spanish Civil War. Also, you must visit the Church of San Juan that is believed to have been built on a mosque.
We recommend you to go through the Church of San José and from there to the viewpoint of Los Peñascos. As you can see the architecture and the viewpoints are key parts of the route through Grazalema making it one of the most beautiful white villages.
Olvera, town of Cádiz
The Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation, located in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, has a viewpoint that was built after the sacristan’s house was demolished.
The Arab castle is another of the points that you must visit, mainly, because there you can enjoy the landscape of the municipality. Although this was built in the late twelfth century, you can see many features of Christianity due to the remodeling, from the capture of the Castilian troops. The Arab Castle is a cultural asset since 1985.
Obligatory stop in Setenil de las Bodegas
The main attraction of this town belonging to the route of the white villages is that a large part of their houses are under a rock. The temple that you should visit in Setenil de las Bodegas is the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation.
This church was built on an old mosque and has a crucified Christ of the seventeenth century and a chasuble of silk and gold that was donated by the Catholic kings.
Here, we recommend you go to the viewpoint of El Lizón. To get there, you must climb the stairs of the Manuel Galán gardens. In addition, we recommend that you know the main monument that is the Torreón del Homenaje, since it is the only remaining trace of the Almohad Alcázar of the 12th and 13th centuries.

This town is famous for the multitude of viewpoints it has. It is surrounded by walls and towers, but only the Torre del Homenaje is preserved in perfect condition.
