Casares is situated between the Ronda highland, the Costa del Sol, and the Campo de Gibraltar; a landscape of red rocks split by deep gorges in the Sierra Bermeja, of forests and circles of pines which have survived fires, and in the shadows climb to the peak to join Los Reales (1.440 m.) and the profusion of highland firs.

The village is spread over two hills, at some 435 metres above sea level, and is 100 kilometres from the city of Málaga. The area records an annual average rainfall of 860 litres per square metre and the average temperature is 16.6ºC.

Casares is half hidden between the foothills of the Sierra, it stretched across the mountain sides of the great cliff and it is crowned by the remains of a historic castle.

The findings in the shelters and caves of Ferrete, Crestellina, Utrera, Pelliscoso, the Novia hill and the Cortijo de Alechipe show the presence of pre-historic man.

El Cortijo de Alechipe has also revealed interesting remains which could have belonged to the Roman town of Lacipo; there are fragments of these remains conserved in the town hall.  Roman remains have also been found in Sierra Crestellina and the Torre de la Sal on the coast. During the Roman era Casares had its own coin mint and legend has it that Lacipo was built by Julius Caesar in gratitude of having a skin complaint cured after bathing in the Baños de la Hedionda.

There are ruins of an Arabic fort on the top of the cliff on which the town stands and in the second half of the 16th century the town was the scene of capitulations which ended one of the Moor revolts.

In more recent history, Casares has the honour of having been the birthplace of Blas Infante Pérez de Vargas, labour lawyer, politician and writer, who is considered to be the most famous historic figure in Andalucía. He was born in 1885 and died during the civil struggle in 1936.
