Sayalonga, Málaga Province

Sayalonga is a small, 'White Village', built on the hillside with characteristically narrow, steep and winding streets, some of them stepped.

The cemetery, the 'Cementerio Redondo' is unique in Spain and is, as the name suggests, circular in shape. Well, nearly. It's actually octagonal if the truth be known. Legend has it that it was built this way because the inhabitants of Sayalonga did not want to have their backs to anyone else. As good an explanation as any, I suppose.
