Zahara de la Sierra, Andalusia, Spain

In the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park lies a picturesque mosaic of white houses in Zahara de la Sierra, Cadiz, Spain. This village is perched high in the Sierra de Jaral, offering stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Zahara-el Gastor reservoir. It also features a beautiful network of cobbled streets that retain their Nasrid layout. This landscape was shaped during the Al-Andalus period, serving as a strategic location between kingdoms for commercial exchanges and political meetings. Its long history and evolution into a modern town date back to the 16th century.
