Driving from Seville to Granada, we stopped by one of Spain's most famous "Pueblos Blancos" - the little town of "Zuheros", formely known, when the Moors occupied the Iberian Peninsula, as "Sujayra". Arriving there, you cannot miss the "Castillo de Zuheros", which was firstly built, according to legends, by the moors themselves in the 9th century. Reconquered by King Fernando III - The Saint, it has been refurbished, rebuilt and renovated along the centuries. Major interventions occured during the 12th, 16th, 18th and 20th centuries.

The castle is nothing special. But you find this Castillo in a very nice white village. The surroundings are stunning.
