Casares is one of the most beautiful villages in the province of Málaga, and is perched on a hill between the mountainous region of Ronda, the Costa del Sol and the Camp de Gibraltar. It was declared a historical site in 1978.
The origins of Casaresdate back to Roman times, when Julius Caesar ordered its construction out of gratitude: he had cured himself by immersing himself in the Hedionda Baths. However, the centre of the village only dates from the Arab period. monuments and sites include the ruins of an Arab castle, the church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, from the XVIIe century, the Santa Catalina convent, from the XVIe century, the Ballesteros caves, the Hedionda caves and the Sima de los Huesos.
