Heritage towns in Granada

Guadix is the cave city of Andalucía: an estimated 2,000 families still live in cave houses hollowed from the soft tufa hills below the town's Moorish alcazaba, in a troglodyte neighbourhood that has been continuously inhabited since the Bronze Age and remains fully residential today.

Baza was the capital of an ancient Iberian kingdom whose most famous citizen — the Lady of Baza, a magnificent 4th-century BCE stone figure — now presides over the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, though replicas and the excavated site itself tell a compelling story of the pre-Roman south in the town that produced her.
