Visiting Guadix
Guadix is one of those places in Spain that appear on an important route thanks to which they became famous, but it definitely is a place worth visiting. You’ll find it somewhere between Granada and Almeria and the old Moorish town will immediately win your heart. The cave district represents one of its biggest and most important attractions, still housing 10,000 people. This extremely special quarter stretches over the ruins of the amazing Alcazaba, which appears in front of your eyes right after you step into the old part of the city, beyond the old walls. You’ll find the entrance to the wonderful Barrio Santiago right behind the amazing whitewashed Santiago Church, one of the most beautiful in the city. The outskirts host the lower caves, which are proper cottages with facilities such as electricity, storeys, running water and television. As you walk further and further into the streets of the quarter, things get much more simplified: just a door, a whitewashed front, a chimney and a tiny window. Opposite the San Miguel Church stands the Cueva Museum, in the centre of the Padre Square; the museum is a ‘’must’’ on your list as it will take you insight of the unique and interesting cave culture, having even intriguing reconstructions of what is the troglodytic life.
Other attractions
Guadix is not an outstanding attraction in Spain, but it surely is a pleasant one. It is an old modest place that impresses with its Cathedral dating back to the 16th century, with its Plaza Mayor that gives you the impression of grandeur and with a few mansions that impress with their beauty and their original architectural styles. Now, let’s take a look to what concerns eating, drinking, sleeping and having fun. Well, since it is not a big resort, there are only a few options when it comes to accommodation; however, you can try the Mulhacen Hotel, which will offer you very good facilities and services. Food is very important and since you are in villa spanien Spain, it would be a pity not to try the traditional dishes; the Comercio Hotel has a wonderful restaurant that serves some of the best local dishes. For further information regarding anything that might interest you, don’t hesitate to use the services of the tourism office, as it is there to make sure that you receive all the help you need as a tourist. Have a nice holiday!
