Village Hotels
Andalucia is famous for its beautiful pueblos blancos (white villages), which are located in the dramatic countryside of this historic part of Spain, with its clear Moorish heritage. With narrow streets lined with flowers and typically North African square houses - many date from the Muslim era of Andalucia, which lasted until the late 15th century - it is no wonder these villages, situated atop rolling hills and craggy crests, are popular destinations with visitors.
On this page, we have personally selected the best ´village hotels´ in Andalucia, in such renowned scenic locations as Vejer de la Frontera, Gaucin and Zahara de la Sierra, as well as other areas of the Sierra de Cadiz and the Alpujarras. These hotels are located in or near pueblo blancos, and offer comfortable, good value accommodation. Each hotel has its own individual character, and many offer spectacular views. Some have swimming pools and spas. Enjoy!
