萨阿拉·德拉谢拉村，加的斯省，西班牙

萨哈拉·德拉谢拉位于西班牙加的斯的群山之上，是伊比利亚半岛南部历史与自然完美结合的白色小镇。村庄坐落在岩石山顶，从今日图片中可以看到，它俯瞰着碧蓝的萨哈拉-埃尔加斯托尔水库和郁郁葱葱的格拉萨莱马自然公园。该公园自1977年起被列为联合国教科文组织生物圈保护区。村内的摩尔人城堡遗址和15世纪塔楼，见证了其作为中世纪要塞的辉煌历史。漫步在鲜花簇拥的狭窄街道，参观风景如画的圣玛丽亚德拉梅萨教堂，或放松身心，尽享壮丽景色。萨哈拉·德拉谢拉还是探险的门户，徒步、骑行和皮划艇等活动只是小镇丰富体验的一部分。

许多人认为萨哈拉·德拉谢拉的名字来自阿拉伯语“azahar”，意为柑橘花。然而，研究表明，这一名称实际上源自“sahra”，意为荒野或贫瘠的土地，反映了小镇所在的岩石山地特征。作为安达卢西亚著名的“白色城镇”，萨哈拉·德拉谢拉定会让你在西班牙最美的角落之一收获难忘的体验。

Village of Zahara de la Sierra, Cadiz, Spain

Zahara de la Sierra, a stunning whitewashed village in the hills of Cádiz province in Spain, offers a blend of history and nature in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Perched on a rocky hilltop, the village seen in today's image overlooks the Zahara-El Gastor Reservoir and the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1977. Its Moorish castle ruins and 15th-century tower reflect its history as a medieval fortress. Stroll through streets lined with flower-filled balconies, visit the church of Santa María de la Mesa, or simply relax and take in the views. Zahara is also a gateway to adventure—activities like hiking, cycling, and kayaking are only a little of what the village has to offer.

The name 'Zahara de la Sierra' was once thought to have come from 'azahar,' the Arabic word for 'citrus blossom.' However, studies suggest it comes from 'sahra,' which means 'wild' or 'barren land,' reflecting the rugged hill where the village is located. As part of Andalusia's Route of the White Villages, Zahara de la Sierra promises unforgettable experiences in a beautiful corner of Spain.
