Cave Living and Chill Strolls in Barrio de las Cuevas

#summervacay Exploring the Barrio de las Cuevas in Guadix was honestly such a cool and random adventure. This neighborhood is full of actual cave houses built right into the hills, and yep, people still live in them. Walking around feels like you’ve stepped into another world, whitewashed chimneys popping out of the ground, little doors carved into the hillside, and narrow paths winding through it all. I checked out the cave museum and it gave a fun look at how people used to live here, and honestly, it’s wild how cozy and functional these places are. The vibe is super peaceful, with epic views of the surrounding landscape and Sierra Nevada in the distance. The locals are friendly, and you can even grab a bite or coffee in some of the cave style spots. It’s not touristy in a loud way, which makes it even better. Barrio de las Cuevas is quirky, chill, and way more interesting than I expected. Definitely worth the detour.
