White villages (Pueblos Blancos)

The White Villages, or Pueblos Blancos, are a group of traditional Andalusian villages in southern Spain, renowned for their striking whitewashed buildings. These villages are often perched on hilltops, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Built centuries ago, their white walls help reflect the sun's heat, keeping interiors cooler. Characterized by narrow, winding streets, white villages preserve historical charm and local culture. Today, they attract visitors for their scenic beauty, architectural authenticity, and tranquil atmosphere, providing a glimpse into Spain’s rich heritage and rural life.
