Detailed itinerary

Set within the heart of Casares, the humble whitewashed house where Blas Infante — regarded as the father of Andalusia — was born, stands as a powerful symbol of regional identity and pride, offering visitors a profound connection to the cultural and political legacy that helped shape modern Andalusia.

During the tour, we’ll make a meaningful stop at the main square of Casares, a lively and picturesque gathering place where centuries of history converge — here you’ll find emblematic monuments such as the statue of Blas Infante, the parish church, and the iconic fountain, each offering a glimpse into the town’s rich cultural and historical tapestry.

From the La Planá viewpoint, you’ll be treated to an awe-inspiring panorama that stretches across rolling hills, the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, and on clear days, all the way to the distant outline of Gibraltar and the African coast — a truly breathtaking moment that captures the natural grandeur and strategic location of Casares in a single sweeping view.

Perched at the very top of the village, the ruins of the medieval castle in Casares offer not only a glimpse into the town’s Moorish past, but also a sense of timelessness

The tour concludes at Casares’ charming main square, where you’ll have time to soak in the local atmosphere, take photos, or simply relax and reflect on the rich history and beauty you've just explored.
