ANDALUSIA, SPAIN
The pueblos blancos intrigued me so I took a train to Cadiz from Zaragoza and rented a car to explore them. These stunning white towns, going back centuries, dot an area of the Andalusian countryside. They've retained their beauty and charm. I finished my five months traveling through Spain in Malaga--with so much left to see.
