Guadix

Experience the Earthy Warmth of Andalusia's Cave Dwellings

Visiting this place is like taking a step back in time but without all of the hassle of actually doing so. It’s amazing how differently people used to live compared to what we know now. The caves in this city were made to be eco-friendly homes and they are still lived in today. With their naturally regulated temperatures, these houses are cool during those super hot summer days and warm during winter times at night.

The caves are definitely one of its most popular draws but there is plenty more history here than just that. The old town has so much to offer from narrow streets boasting stories about conquests to flipping through books all day long trying to figure out if anything really happens when you say “Beetlejuice” three times. You’ll want to make your way up Mirador de la Magdalena as well - Just trust me on this one.

Don’t limit yourself! There is so much more past these landmarks and architecture! Sierra Nevada National Park lies close by ready for anyone who wants some bird watching or just wants to take a peaceful hike through its landscapes.
