If you're in Guadix, don't miss the cave districts. Climb up to the Hermitage in Plaza del Padre Poveda and its viewpoint. Then you can continue along the Cuatro Veredas until you reach the Mercadona just above.

View of the Peza that suddenly surprises you on the road

The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Sugar Factory in Benalúa, Granada, was an important industrial complex that operated from 1913 to 1982. The factory was built by the Unión Agrícola Azucarera "Nuestra Señora del Carmen", a group of dissatisfied farmers and owners from the Guadix region who were unhappy with the existing sugar industry. The factory was located on the edge of the Linares-Almería railway line, which facilitated the transport of sugar cane and other goods. The complex produced sugar, molasses, pulp and alcohol and played a crucial role in the local economy for almost seventy years. This historic factory is now an industrial heritage centre and offers a glimpse into the history of the sugar industry in the region. The building itself is an impressive example of early 20th century industrial architecture.

The village of Benalúa (formerly Benalúa de Guadix) is a quiet white mountain village located in a valley between the Guadix and Fardes rivers, in the north of the province of Granada, 50 minutes drive from the city of Granada. What is special about this unknown village in the interior of Andalusia is that there are ancient cave houses on the edge of the village. Just like in Guadix plus other places in the area of the village. Several cave houses in Benalúa have now been converted into holiday homes where you can spend the night in a simple but special way.

Handy, but high. 😉

Cueva Museo La Inmaculada in Purullena is a unique cave museum that vividly showcases the traditional cave dwellings of the region, with decorated spaces that provide a glimpse into the daily life of the past, from kitchens and bedrooms to craft workshops, often enhanced with local artefacts and stories, giving visitors an authentic experience of what it was like to live in these extraordinary dwellings carved into the soft rock.

The museum may be a little off your route, but it is worth a detour and a stop. You start downstairs and walk through an inhabited house. Then you go upstairs and actually visit the museum. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Hard to say what is meant here. The cave dwellings in the mountainside?
