The Alhambra marks the start of a drive taking in historic cities, a river valley and mountains – and ends in Almería’s spaghetti western desert
Our last week in Spain we rented a car and spent a week driving from Valencia to Seville. Our plan was to not have a plan. Or at least a very loose one. We left on Tuesday and had to get to Seville by the next Tuesday, and that was about it. After being carless for the greater part of two years we were really looking forward to the freedom that a car would allow us. We could go anywhere we wanted, whenever we wanted, all without buying tickets! We didn’t even have to pack our suitcases so meticulously because, hey, just throw it in the trunk! The joy.

Guadix is a town in the province of Granada that occupies part of an elevated plateau among the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. When I visited the town I thought it a rather quirky sort of place. I had driven there from Almería and as I approached the town it appeared to be set amidst a lunar landscape. The town centre is conventional enough. The Cathedral with its Baroque tower looked impressive from the outside but inside I felt that it was rather dark and gloomy. It stands in the Plaza de Constitución and this area of the town, the Barrio de Santiago, has many fine buildings. There are two other districts in Guadix - the Barrio de Santa Ana and the Barrio de la Cuevas. The Barrio de Santa Ana is the old Moorish quarter that consists of a network of narrow alleyways with whitewashed house, decked out with floral arrangements. However, the most famous feature of the town is the cave dwellings in the Barrio de la Cuevas where around half the population live. When I visited the area, I thought that I was in a scene from 'The Lord of the Rings'! It was just like 'The Shire' - with little white chimneys poking out of the ground! The caves are not primitive dwellings, however but are a solution to the fierce heat of the Andalucian summer. The interior of the cave houses are cool in summer and warm in winter and have all the necessities of modern living - it is quite strange seeing television aerials on the little hillocks! Just outside of Guadix is Purullena where there are more cave dwellings including a complete street of them with shop frontages - all these shops sell pottery. A few miles away, is the town of La Calahorra with its magnificent castle, the Castillo-Palacio de La Calahorra, built on a hill overlooking the town. It lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Driving from the Alpujarras to Guadix via the Puerto de Ragua pass, the only road to traverse the north and south faces of the Sierra Nevada mountain range is a spectacular journey. cave house

La capital europea de las cuevas. En Guadix, España, unas 4,500 personas aún habitan en el refugio más preciado para el hombre primitivo: las cuevas.

Not far from Grenada near the Sierra Nevada Mountains lies Guadix, a town that is famous for its many cave houses. These houses look like a cross between hobbit houses and the Flintstone's residence, and hundreds of Cuevas can be found in Guadix and the surrounding countryside. People have been living in caves in this area for centuries, and it makes sense. The caves are a great way to shield yourself from the sun and enjoy cool temperatures in the summer and warmth in the winter. The temperatures are extreme here. And the desert like vistas were perfect for filming the spaghetti westerns of the 1960's. Walking around you can imagine Clint Eastwood riding out of the hills. Between the hills and the fields of almond and olive trees you can see small white chimneys sticking out of the ground indicating a cave house neighbourhood. Although many cuevas lie unused, thousands of people still live in them and more and more tourists are coming to stay in one of the cave house hotels that have popped up in recent years. Many of the caves are quite luxurious inside, and most of the refurbished ones have electricity and running water with stuccoed walls painted bright white. We stayed in a cave house complex called Cuevas de Rolando just outside of town. Our cave was a smallish two bedroom apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, wood burning stove, and a great outdoor terrace with a brick barbeque. Although most of are vacation was spent experiencing the hectic Semana Santa celebrations around Andalusia, our cave was cozy and quiet, and it was great to just kick back and relax for a few days. There are no stores nearby, so you have to buy your supplies in town. There was a large supermarket near the bus station which had an incredible selection of produce, meats, cheeses, pastries, and specialty sausages. We bought a ton of stuff including some local vermuts and finos. Besides wandering the hills and fields, there is not much to do. Neither Mia or I drive so we couldn't explore the surrounding region much, and we spent the next few days feasting and relaxing. Tapas in the afternoons, including serrano wrapped dates, chorizo, marinated fish, manchego, and mojama with romesco A BBQ every evening with various sausages and vegetables Eating roast chicken with bacon wrapped grilled strawberries and drinking lots of sherry while watching the sunset over the Sierra Nevada Mountains One morning we walked down to the nearby Guadix Train Station and had a typical Spanish breakfast in the cool retro diner attached. Pan con Tomate y jamon y queso Another day we made plato alpujarreño. A regional dish of the area with sausage, eggs, pork loin, and lots of fried potatoes and spicy peppers. A great hangover cure. We had a great time in our little cave house and would like to go back. Renting a cave house in Guadix for a couple of weeks would be a perfect way to unwind and get away from it all.
