The story behind this image

This is the village of Ojen, one of the 'Puebla Blancas' (white villages) that adorn the landscape of Andalucia to the north of the Costa del Sol in Spain.

These villages are usually situated very photogenically on ridges, with higher hills beyond, as was the case here at Ojen.

My wife Liz and I took a look around the village itself but we weren't that impressed. This is one of those places that looks better from a distance.
