Zuheros Town, Cordoba, History, Charm and Stunning Views

It´s not the first time Zuheros has featured here on Andalucia Explorer. This very charming, white-washed hillside town is just 45 minutes from home and a favourite to take visitors too. Recently I had viewings there with some lovely clients looking for another home in this area. Leaving early to grab coffee and explore a little - there´s always a new corner I´ve not seen and the views always change with the different light depending on the time of day and year. Zuheros Approach The day was going to be a scorcher, nearer 40c than 30c so an early start was needed. Being a hill town means steep streets, lack of parking and a bit of hill walking. There are a couple of car parks but, as you can imagine, they are just out of town and, with a bit of a climb to get there.

Travel Writer Cordoba and Jaén, Andalucia

It´s been a long while since I posted here on Andalucia Explorer. Life keeps throwing things into  the work-and-family-life mix, not leaving much time for this blog.

My latest project has been writing and researching the Cordoba and Jaén chapter for the new Blue Spain Andalucia guide by Lonely Planet, out in early summer 2023.

Other than than, writing, what should be a fortnightly article, for BeSeeingYou.World.com and my own blogs Luxury Spain Travel and Only Spain Boutique Hotels little time has been spent here, my first foray into blogging.

My other job also racks up many hours meeting people of differing nationalities and travelling around showing them what will hopefully be their new home or holiday home. Yes, I´m an estate agent in Jaén province right up there in the north of Andalucia, almost on the border with the Quixote lands of - Castilla La-Mancha.

My adopted home, since 1996, affords me plenty of fabulous places to visit and write about, even now after all these years.
