Most of the towns are grouped around the Grazalema Mountains, Sierra Nevada and the foothills of The Alpujarras. Some of the towns are close to each other and can easily be combined into a day trip by car.

Our favorite white villages are: Tarifa, Vejer de la Frontera, Sierra de Grazalema and Ubrique.
