The pretty \u2018pueblo blanco\u2019 \u2013 whitewashed village \u2013 of Algodonales can be reached down a country lane, just 2km from Casa Rustica. The lakeside village of Zahara de la Sierra is 7km from the cottage. This quaint little town has all the hallmarks of a fairy-tale Spanish village burrowed on a hillside overlooking the turquoise lake with a crumbling castle perched at its pinnacle.<\/p>\n
