One of Spain’s most beautiful villages
After driving 🚗 along twisting road we arrive at one of the highlight little towns of the province of 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲, south of 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 - 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 - considered one of 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻's most beautiful towns
Its narrow cobblestone-covered streets, whitewashed walls and the ubiquotous palmtrees leading the way towards a steep promontory with a castle guard tower certainly are proof of 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 beauty and the reason why this little town got such an accolade 🥇
As you get into the town, its streets are lined with cafes ☕️ restaurants 🍽 and souvenirs shops 🎁- you can even get swords ⚔️ and antique (decorative) guns in some of them -and as you walk towards the top the houses become intertwined in more difficult forms, defying gravity.
After walking through a tunnel, you will arrive at the entrance that leads to the top of the castle🏰 with its iconic guard tower at the pinnacle of it. However, if you prefer continuing your walk through the village, you should make it left and keep walking until you arrive to a big square at the top.
The views from this point are excellent, overlooking a water reservoir of turquoise blue color and with the mountain chains as a background of matchless beauty.
🌴𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 is certainly a worthy recipient of its title as one of 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻's most beautiful villages and a trip here, although not an easy one, driving through the mountain roads, is one that you will not regret.
