personal experience:

visiting this wonderful town in the province of Seville, was a Saturday in September, while in Mollina, Laura, for her performance in the "I Contest Street Young Artists. " One sunny morning, before lunch, we took the car and headed to meet some of Osuna.

was a short ride, but very rewarding. I never imagined so much beauty in so few miles. A first meeting, which was only increased our curiosity and our desire to return another time.

I did a lot more pictures, but I can not put them all here. And all are beautiful: coats, balconies, streets with whitewashed houses, beautiful palaces, etc ... So, this is worth another visit soon.

I recommend you go to visit this town.
