Cheap Holidays in Spain

I'm Rebecca, your Holidu host in Spain.

What I would not miss here:

• Walk Casares itself, get lost in the white streets and climb to the castle for the view
• Hike the Sierra Crestellina
• A day on the beaches at Casares Costa, ending with lunch by the sea

Where I send guests to eat:

• Sarmiento Brasa Andaluza: Andalusian cooking, good meat and seasonal produce over coals
• The roadside ventas out of Casares, an experience in themselves
• La Sal, by the sea: fish, shellfish and rice dishes
• Local dishes worth trying: chivo, artisan goat's cheese and gazpacho casareño

What you should see and do:

• Feria del Santo Cristo de Casares in September: a proper Andalusian verbena in the old town, with most of the village out for it

What to take home:

• Something made here rather than a souvenir: artisan goat's cheese, olive oil, honey
• The Sierra Crestellina goat's cheese is the local one

My advice for your stay:

• Do not try to do too much. Slowing down is one of the best things about this area
• Explore Casares in the morning, take a long lunch, walk in the country or go to the beach
• Leave time to sit still, watch the birds and look at the sunset
