The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

Not my list, but hard to argue with them.

Have to admit I've only been to 3 of them... :o

Edit - the list of 50 is perhaps a better place to look, as it shows images - glad to say I've been to quite a few on the list.

Here's an article with pictures called 'The White Towns of Andalucía'.

I would include Caceres and Trujillo in the top ten

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

Cáceres is a city. The article was actually about the prettiest pueblos (villages) in Spain. None of the 50 listed are cities

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

Ah, so that's why Oviedo isn't number one on the prettiest town list then.;)

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

No Alhaurin de la Torre?

Alphons et al. will be devastated! :lol:

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

I would include Cuenca, Castellar de la Frontera and Setenil de las bodegas

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

We were in Setenil de las Bodegas (#29 of the list of 50) a couple of weeks ago.

I would call it fascinating, odd - even a bit weird. But not really pretty...

I wouldn't live in one of those for a Kings Ransom, not with that lot sitting just above my head. :eek:

I presume it's not in a Quake zone, though I believe two or three similar houses got crushed a while back when there was some slight earth movement.
I can't recall offhand if there were any casualties.

Cuenca is great place to visit, but I understand it is also classified as a city, albeit a small one! One of those places that can get very cold, too.

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

Stevies post made me look up the definition of city.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City

There are 53 different countries definitions listed in Wikipedia, but not Spain.

I then tried Spanish City and came up with

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_City

That was the first Spanish city I visited :thumbsup:

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

The Spanish sometimes get carried away and call their 'pueblo' a 'ciudad' (example here from Mojácar).
At any rate, if some city/town/village is pretty, it's worth sharing with BritishExpats I think!

Re: The 10 prettiest towns in Spain.
 

Ha ha, I vaguely remember when that was going strong, especially when all the Jocks came down at holiday time, before the Spanish Costas had properly taken off.

Back then we even had a "Spanish City" close to my home little windswept N.E village.
It was actually a big and very lively pub, the only connection I knew of with our other N.E. Spanish City was that it was painted white.

It's still there Dick however a very sad sight these days all boarded up and run down. It still had the funfair etc when we moved up to NE 19 years ago. There have been many grand plans to bring it back to life but none so far have gone anywhere.

The next thing you two will tell me is you used to drink in the Briar Dene.

Are we off track yet?
