Arcos | Arcos de la Frontera, Spain

Today I spent a few hours in the small, hill top town of Arcos de la Frontera. The Spanish province of Andalucia is scattered full of what they call 'Pueblos Blancos', which in Spanish means 'White Towns'. Each town is usually situated on a hill top or side of mountain, with all of the houses and buildings painted white. I have visited a few of these Pueblos Blancos, but I think Arcos has something special. It sits on a steep cliff with a river, reservoir and rolling hills surrounding it. There are still parts of the castle walls intact. I think they add a nice contrast between the new white buildings and the old stone walls. I definitely think it's worth a visit.

Hoy pase algunas horas en el pequeno pueblo de Arcos de la Frontera. La provincia Andalucia esta llena de 'Pueblos Blancos'. Cada pueblo es usualmente situado en una cima de colina o al lado de una montana. He visitado pocos Pueblos Blancos, pero creo que Arcos tiene algo especial. Que se encuentra sobre un acantilado con un rio, embalse y colinas que lo rodea. Hay todavia partes de los muros del castillo intactas. Creo que anaden un buen contraste ambos los nuevos blancos edificios y los viejos muros de piedra. Vale la pena visitarlo.
