duke6979<BR>We've passed by it on the road from Ronda to Algondonales (I see it on the map), but it must never have cried out to us to stop and take a look. <BR>Our favorite white towns up there, other than Arcos and Ronda, are Grazalema and Zahara de la Sierra, and in particular the drive between the 2 through the Puerto de las Palomas pass (but not for the faint of heart-I won't drive it myself!). <BR>Setenil de las Bodegas you'd probably find interesting for its cave-like houses built into the overhanding rock, and Benaoj&aacute;n for the prehistoric Pileta caves. Ubrique is the leather town with rows of shoe and handbag shops. I've never been to the Roman ruins of Ocuri outside of Ubrique, but I think it's a steep and difficult walk. I've read (by a poster here) that Olvera is quite picturesque with a nice, inexp. place to stop, the Hotel Sierra y Cal.
