Spain Andalusia Arcos de la Frontera
Arcos de la Frontera, a town in the province of Cadiz in Southern Spain, is one of the beautiful Pueblos Blancos – White Villages – in the Andalusia region. The white houses of the old city are suspended on a rocky limestone ridge that rises steeply above the fertile Guadalete Valley with its river, fields, and orchards. White alleys lead to the Plaza del Cabildo, an expansive square that hangs over the deep slope of the river bank. From the observation deck, there is a breathtaking view of the river winding between the vineyards and the fields and, above it, the houses of the old city which appear to hang from the cliff. Because of its unique architecture and location, the town was declared a national historic-artistic monument.
Arcos de la Frontera is a charming “White Village” in Andalusia with extraordinary architecture, history, and cuisine.
