Pretty prestigious

THE prestigious National Geographic magazine has included six municipalities in the province of Malaga in its list of the most beautiful villages in Spain.

Two of them are on the Costa del Sol: Mijas and Casares. Another two towns are in the Serrania: Ronda and Genalguacil, and they are joined by Frigiliana in Axarquia and Archidona in the Antequera region.

About Casares, the publication defines it as a “lime-tinged panoramic view that is captivating due to the layout of its houses, like lumps of sugar piled up.” Among its points of interest, it highlights the castle as “a fortress built by the Arabs in the 13th century.”

As for Mijas, it defines it as “a whitewashed town that forms the most classic landscape of the Andalucian white villages, perfectly combined with the blue flowerpots hanging on the walls and the bright red flowers that emerge from them.” As a place of interest, it refers to “a bronze sculpture next to the Tourist Office as the protagonist of the Plaza de la Virgen de la Pena.” age electricity and telephone services, deal with DGT, buy train tickets, access insurance company offers and Correos Telecom, and sell Red Cross lottery tickets and ONCE coupons.
