The sun-drenched white villages near Seville are perched on steep mountain sides, a strategic ploy of the Moors, who founded them. Mostly situated at vantage points high up on the slopes for protection from invaders, these villages now portray the traditional way of how people survived in a stunning but hostile environment.

Underneath, there was every fear of heights person’s […]
