Arcos de la Frontera

Arcos de la Frontera is a monumental town where dazzling white houses seem to balance precariously on the edge of a sheer cliff. Its labyrinth of narrow, steep streets and arches reflects the deep Moorish influence on the region's history. The main square, Plaza del Cabildo, offers a breathtaking balcony view of the valley and surrounding olive groves. Ancient churches and the Castle of the Dukes of Arcos define the town's majestic skyline, visible from miles away. This settlement is widely considered the gateway and starting point for the famous Route of the White Villages.
