I will be staying in Mijas Costa for a week. As for my White Towns tour I am trying to choose between Arcos and Casares. If I am not mistaken Arcos is a lot bigger name than Casares, but is the extra driving really worth it, specially considering the fact that I will definitely visit Ronda. Any advice related to this will be highly appreciated.

Arcos is indeed a lot bigger but I found C&aacute;sares to be equally beautiful.<BR><BR>If you don't mind the driving, the scenery on the way to Arcos is really beautiful but you will see that anyway when you drive from Mijas Costa to Ronda. <BR><BR>Here's a link to my pictures of both white towns: <BR>C&aacute;sares: http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.125633/article/185/48/19/<BR>Arcos: http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.125633/article/185/48/30/<BR><BR>Enjoy Andaluc&iacute;a !

Thanks Myriam. Looks like I will just stick to Casares, which I think should be able to visit by taking a detour on my way back from Ronda. Trying to visit Arcos and Ronda on the same day could be way too hectic. Thanks for all those nice pictures.

I agree with you that Ronda and Arcos in one day will be too much. Ronda deserves a day in itself. When in Ronda don't miss the Palacio de Mondrag&oacute;n. This is a museum in a former arabic palace. It is not that important for its collection but the palace itself is worth seeing. It has various pat&iacute;os in different styles, arches and arcades, a beautiful garden and a terrace overlooking the valley.

Myriam: The viamichelin website have the Palacio de Mondrag&oacute;n listed as two star attaction. After reading your post I am putting it on my must see list for Ronda. Thanks.
