Pueblos Blancos: Zahara

Andalusian hill country










First view of Zahara










The tower on the crag, from the town











The road up the hill is lined with tiles of wisdom such as
this (with which I heartily concur)







More countryside, from the top








In the distance, another pueblo blanco










Ruins atop the crag







View from the top










The medieval tower











More ruins and countryside











Cacti on the crag







And another white town































































































From Ecija we dropped down south into the mountains, the realm of the old frontera (as in frontier between Moors and Christians) and the many pueblos blancos, the "white towns." First was Zahara.
