Article Tour of Ardales
A tour of the picturesque city of Andalusia
Ardales is a small Andalusian town near the large Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce. It is not very well known, so you will hardly come across other tourists here. At the same time, a short tour is definitely worth it. It is a classic white town stuck to a rocky slope with a small fortress at the very top

The best view of the city is from below from the north. From here, you have it in the palm of your hand
A region of olive trees behind the town of Ardales
Behind the last houses of the town there is an unfathomable region full of olive trees. The massive bridge with a dirt road leading to the fields was probably paid for with European Union money :-)
City of Ardales
Ardales is a town on a hill, so it's quite a place here. All life is around the town hall „Ayuntamiento“. Here you will find bars and restaurants. The town hall itself is quite a nice building.
Church of Our Lady of the Remedies
Just below the top of the hill is a pretty church, one of the city's landmarks
