Circular walk from the picturesque white village of Casares to a memorial site below the Moorish castle, across meadows, fields, ancient olive trees, forests, to the ruins of the original Roman village of Lacipo

casares lacipo 02Just a few kilometres from the coast, near one of Andalusia's most classic white villages, are the ruins of the original Roman village of Lacipo, hidden among rocks and olive trees. From up there you have a breathtaking view of the Strait of Gibraltar and the surrounding mountains and mountain villages. Apart from some short rocky sections and a few steep hills, our path is relatively easy and pleasant to walk, passing farms and cattle pastures. After visiting Lacipo, we walk back to the village over an old Roman bridge and finally take a short break in the village square, where we can have a drink and sample local tapas in a bar in the charming village square before heading back to the coast
