Really beautiful city

The historic part of this city is really beautiful, with narrow paths. Is very nice for walking and you can have a lot of choices for food and drinks

Dramatic and intimate

We didn’t have too much time to visit other white villages but Arcos was really great to walk, the narrow streets and white walled buildings yielding dramatic vistas and unexpected renaissance palace entrances and characteristic churches.

Amazing hilltop white town in Andalucia

The situation of Arcos is more precipitous and stunning than most of the 'White Towns', which is saying something if you know them. Perched on the edge of a sheer cliff the Plaza del Cabildo offers stunning views almost to the coast. The centre is...More

A town of white houses

If you ever do a road trip in Spain like I did for three weeks, you cannot miss this place. It’s a beautiful town that you can spend an hour or so just walking around the town where everyone seems to know everyone. Do not...More

Where is the best place to get a good panoramic photograph of the town itself from down below?
