Casares, a white village steeped in history

Perched on a hill between the Serranía de Ronda, the Costa del Sol and the Campo de Gibraltar, Casares is one of the most beautiful white villages in the province of Málaga; it was even elected "most beautiful village in Andalusia" and classified as a historic site in 1978. Its immaculate facades cling to the rock face, dominated by the remains of its 13th-century castle, earning it the nickname "hanging village".

The origins of Casares date back to Roman times: according to tradition, Julius Caesar, cured of a skin condition after immersing himself in the sulfurous waters of the Hedionda Baths, ordered its construction out of gratitude. The heart of the current village dates from the Moorish era. Casares is also the birthplace of Blas Infante, considered the "father of the Andalusian homeland".

Today, Casares combines this thousand-year-old heritage with the Costa del Sol lifestyle: beaches, golf courses and restaurants just minutes from the white village. It is an ideal setting for a main residence, a second home or an investment. We support you in each of these projects.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the houses for sale in Casares?

Mainly in Casares Costa and the Bahía de Casares (seafront and golf), while the perched white village appeals for its charm. We cover both areas.

Why are the residences in Casares so airy?

Planning rules limit buildings to two storeys, which gives low, bright residences, often with beautiful green spaces and open views.

What budget should I plan for a house in Casares?

Prices generally start at around €215,000 and vary depending on proximity to the golf course and the beach, and on the level of specification (new-build or resale).

Is Casares suitable for golf lovers?

Absolutely. Finca Cortesín (which hosted the Solheim Cup), Doña Julia and Casares Costa Golf are among the best-known golf courses on the Costa del Sol.

What costs and taxes should I plan for when buying a house in Casares?

For a resale property (reventa), allow around 7% ITP (property transfer tax, Andalusian rate), plus around 1 to 1.5% for notary, registration and professional fees. For a new-build property (obra nueva), 10% VAT (IVA) and AJD (tax on documented legal acts, 1.2%) replace ITP. We give you the full breakdown before any commitment.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage for a house in Casares?

Yes. Spanish banks generally lend to non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the property's value, compared with 80% for residents. We work with local banks and brokers who are used to dealing with international buyers.

Why invest in a house in Casares?

Casares combines the charm of a traditional white village with the golf courses of Casares Costa and Finca Cortesín, and offers houses in a quieter, greener setting than the neighbouring coastal towns.
