The summer period is approaching and with it, the long-awaited vacations. More and more people fantasize about getaways to charming enclaves that offer much more than sun and beach; places rural and picturesque to disconnect during summer rest days. …
The municipality of Zuheros appears in this list, with 650 searches per month. The top of the most viral Andalusian towns is headed by the Malaga town of Frigiliana (4,080); followed by Setenil de la Bodegas from Cádiz, with 3,380 searches in one month; Grazalema and Castellar de la Frontera. From Granada there are the Alpujarra towns of Pampaneira and Capileira (950 and 830 searches, respectively); the Sevillian town of Aguadulce (800); Baños de la Encina, Jaén; Zuheros and, in tenth place, Cazalla de la Sierra (Seville).
The methodology used by Holidu has been based on data from the Semrush site, through which the average monthly search volume on Google for the last 12 months was examined with the key terms ‘what to do in’ and ‘what to see in‘ along with the name of each municipality. These criteria are based on the INE definition of ‘small municipality’. Based on this analysis, a ranking of the small municipalities with the highest search volume was prepared.
