A Trip to the Beautiful Pueblos Blancos in Spain

The Pueblos Blancos or the White Towns of Andalusia, are the towns and villages that are situated in the northern regions of the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga. These villages are mostly located at a high altitude by the Berber tribes who wanted to protect themselves from the enemies. Due to their positions, they offer picturesque views of the surrounding landscapes. The houses in the villages are painted white to reflect the sunlight and keep the inside atmosphere cool, and it is from here that they have derived their names the 'Pueblos Blancos or the White Towns'.

Let us now explore in brief some of these beautiful villages in Malaga, Spain.
