The area is renown for its beauty and wildlife. Eagles are known to frequent the mountains around Casares and the area is one of the main migration routes over to Africa especially for birds of prey; being the shortest crossing via Gibraltar. Kestrels, peregrines and falcons can also be observed. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning and begs exploration. The ports of Estepona, Duquesa & Sotogrande make pleasant local excursions.

The origins of Casares date back to Roman times, when Julius Caesar ordered its construction as a show of gratitude for having been healed by the waters of the Baths of La Hedionda. However, the current town dates from the time of the Arabs. Outstanding among its historic sights are the ruins of an Arab castle, the church of Nuestra Se?ora de la Encarnaci?n, from the 17th century; the convent of Santa Catalina, from the 16th century; the caves of Ballesteros, the caves of Hedionda and the Sima de los Huesos.
