Montecorto

Wind your way back to A376 from Cueva de la Pileta and continue northwest, then west on the A382. You are on a road called the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos, or white-town route, and you soon see why as you pass several very picturesque little towns with their whitewashed buildings and red-tile roofs. On the right, you’ll see Montecorto and have a splendid view of the mountains in front of you. A bit farther, the town of Zahara, with a ruined castle and Arab bridge, rises to your left. Built on a ridge, it was a stronghold against the kingdom of Granada during the Moorish occupation.
