PHOTO LOCATION: Arcos de la Frontera, Andalucia, Spain

Twilight over the town

 
ABOUT THE LOCATION
Arcos de la Frontera is one of the few ‘white villages’ which can be photographed from many different viewpoints, thanks to its spectacular location on top of a ridge, and the road which circumnavigates it.

Within the maze of streets in the old town you will find a mixture of picturesque lines of whitewashed houses, sleepy alleys decorated with flowers, and impressive historical buildings and churches.
TIPS FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER

What to photograph: Views of the town from the south and east, whitewashed alleys filled with flowers, historical monuments.
When to photograph: Views can be taken from morning through till late in the day. Main churches are best at the end of the day. In May there is the Cruces de Mayo festival.
Photography tips: Do explore the many narrow alleyways to find picturesque patios filled with flowers.
