The feel
Casares is one of the most striking pueblos blancos in Málaga: a cascade of white houses, terracotta roofs and a ruined castle, stacked beneath the Sierra Crestellina. The municipality reaches down to Casares Costa, where beaches, golf and a marina sit below the mountain. It is a place for people who want the village view but still want the sea within reach.
Why consider it
- One of the most photogenic villages in the province
- A genuine mountain setting, not a themed resort
- Coastal Casares and Estepona are close by
The property
The old village is almost entirely resale and renovation; Casares Costa has apartments, townhouses and villas, with more new-build potential on the coastal side. The climb to the village is steep, and the reward is the view.
