Top 7 Pueblos Blancos
Andalusia offers countless ways to explore its rich culture and landscapes – whether by day or night, through food, or along its many scenic routes. One of the most iconic routes is the tour of the Pueblos Blancos (white villages), named for their brilliant whitewashed houses. This traditional lime coating not only reflects the intense summer heat but also keeps the interiors cool and inviting. Scattered across the rolling hills and mountains, these villages are easily spotted from the main roads, their gleaming facades standing out against the lush green or arid landscapes. Their charming streets, brimming with colorful flowers, create a cozy atmosphere that makes visitors fall in love with them. We’ve curated our Top 7 Pueblos Blancos to visit in Andalusia.
