Pueblos Blancos Music Festival in Ronda

Report by Alex Cutts on the festivals Saturday night in Ronda; one of the more well-known towns to feature on the Pueblos Blancos line-up. Perhaps the most dramatic and breathtaking stage of the entire festival was in Ronda. The acts played in front of a backdrop which could only be described as looking like something out of a movie: miles of rocky cliffs and farmland nestled into valleys below a bright orange sunset.

Joe King Carrasco

Joe "King" Carrasco is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter widely recognized as the "King of Tex-Mex Rock 'n' Roll." Renowned for his high-energy stage acrobatics and infectious blend of garage rock, cumbia, reggae, and Latin rhythms.

Montejaque

As in all the pueblos blancos, Montejaque dates from the time of the Berber settlers, after the Moslem conquest. Located in a semi-hidden bowl hidden by circular rocky outcrops, it overlooks a small fertile valley of olive groves.

History of Villaluenga del Rosario

Of all the towns on the Pueblos Blancos route in the Sierra de Cadiz, this one sits at the highest altitude. Situated within the natural park of the Sierra de Grazalema, its location offers such fascinating places as the La Yedra and La Rajada caves, where remains from the Neolithic period have been found.

Cuevas de Lituergo

The Lituergo caves are houses next to the Guadalquivir River, which served to shelter many families from the town. At the peak of their use, there were more than fifty caves, and each had a living room, kitchen and bedroom.

Salt Marsh landscapes in Andalucia

Salt marshes are a natural source of sea salt. The marshes flood on a high tide and then a series of earth bund walls and sluice gates regulate the level of the seawater. As the water evaporates under the hot sun, the salt is left behind; it is then collected and stored, and the process is repeated. The main locations for this are Cabo del Gata (whose sea salt is highly prized in cooking) and the Marismas de Odiel in Huelva.

Varied Landscapes of Andalucia

Andalucia has an amazingly wide variety of scenery - from Europe's second-highest mountain range, to the continent's only desert, tidal marshes recognised as a biosphere by UNESCO, ancient oak forests, and of course hundreds of km of stunning coastline, from smooth, flat arcs of golden sand to lofty, dramatic cliffs.

Glossary of terms from prehistoric monuments

Andalucía is home to some of the most significant prehistoric monuments in Europe, particularly the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Antequera Dolmens and the Copper Age settlements of Almería and Huelva.
