Casares is the white village on the hill that makes visitors pull over and reach for their camera. Perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop above the coastal plain, its whitewashed houses cascade down the mountainside beneath a Moorish castle, with views stretching across the western Costa del Sol to the sea and Africa beyond. One of the most photographed villages in Andalucía — and one of the most authentic.
Living near Casares means having this piece of old Spain as your neighbour while enjoying modern comforts at Nylva Homes, 15 minutes down the hill on the coast.
Casares Pueblo
A real community of 3,500 people with narrow cobbled streets, a medieval church, local bars where old men play dominoes, and a ruined castle with views to Gibraltar. Famous as the birthplace of Blas Infante, father of Andalusian nationalism. Traditional mountain cuisine — game meats, stews, grilled vegetables, and local wine.
Casares Costa
Below the hilltop village, the coastal strip stretches along the beachfront between Estepona and Manilva. Modern apartment complexes, golf courses including Doña Julia, and Bahía de Casares — a family-friendly beachside urbanisation.
Hiking and Nature
The Sierra Bermeja and Sierra Crestellina mountains have well-marked trails with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. For nature lovers, the contrast between coastal lifestyle and mountain wilderness just 20 minutes inland is one of Manilva’s greatest assets.
