Latest Guadix hotel reviews
berenices Says: This impresive cathedral, in the Baroque style, was built in the 16th century and completed in the 18th century, in red standstone. It is said to be built on the site of a former mosque. I wasn't able to go in as my timing was a mistake -- it was siesta time, and rightly so...
Martin_S. Says: Take a good look and you will see that all the homes surrounding this street junction are underground, or at least partially. The second photo with Stacey in it gives you a way to judge the size of the homes, but there is more underground than meets the exterior eye. The...
Martin_S. Says: On the edge of the town of Guadix is a fairly large neighourhood composed of cave homes. People have dug out and settled INTO these hills surrounding the town. As you can see in the photos the front of the houses can look like a perfectly regular home in any ordinary town...
blint Says: My tips on Guadix and short, this is true, but it is because there aren't many words to describe it. Nor is there much information I can give on it. It is a place to see and marvel at not to give facts about. Saying that here is a fact for you: The origins of the cave homes...
blint Says: Even if some of the houses in the main part of town look a little run down, I think this adds to the charm of the place so don't rule out just walking around the streets. Go get lost and take lots of photos.
Guadix's Arabic Touch: La Alcazaba
blint Says: The Alcazaba is a military fortification and palace built in the 11th Century by the Arabs when they were in control of this part of Spain from the Centuries VIII to XV.As you can see from the photo these old fortifications are well preserved and add to the beauty of this...
blint Says: Now these really are CAVE homes.Some cave homes look like normal houses on the outside and then you find out the rest is dug out cave. These type of Cave homes have most of the mod cons of life; others really are just caves that people live in. Look at the holes in the hills...
Alarcon Cave Hotel Restaurant: Alarcon Cave Hotel Restaurant
Martin_S. Says: This is a local restaurant and we saw local families having a drink or dinner there while watching the football game. These things are usually a good sign that the food will be in good portions and good taste, and we were right. You can see in the photos that Zohara, Carmen...
Versalles: Versalles for Churros
Martin_S. Says: We had been hearing of this local dish since our arrival and even read of it before...Churros is usually only served in the mornings, sometimes as late as 11am, but we never found it later.It is a pastry type dish, made in sprial strings laid out on your plate. What you see...
quartinb Says: i 've only spent one nite in guadix, and thou' they we're helding summer festivities guess that they don´t have much nite offers...a stroll around the old barrios side by side with the cathedral will offer yu images like that shown in the pic...tigh your shoe laces and go...
Martin_S. Says: When we first arrived in Spain and entered a small bar/pub/restaurant we observed people standing at the bar and throwing things onto the floor. When we looked closely we found that the entire floor was littered with papers, wrappers, napkins, straws, sugar packages and...
blint Says: Sensible shoes are a must. You will do plenty of walking, many times up small sandy hills. So you will need shoes that grip and (ladies) without heals to enjoy Guadix to the max. You must take a good camera with zoom and flash to get all the facets of this great town.
Beach_dog Says: Small town just a few kilometers from Guadix, it has a spectacular hilltop castle, some interesting buildings and incredible views of the Sierra Nevada mountains.More info on my Lacalahorra page.
Carmela71 Says: This would have to be called the visit in the perfect day, the view of the castle, the trees in blosson, and the snowed mountains of Sierra nevada at the back....
Guadix view of Sierra Nevada Mountains
Martin_S. Says: This view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains was from our room at the cave hotel, sorry about the blue spot, that happens sometimes with the camera and I have NO IDEA WHY....But anyway it still does not take away from the beauty of the mountains we were planning to travel into...
Martin_S. Says: It was nice sitting on the quiet hillside (or rather on our porch) at the cave hotel and enjoying our first Guadix sunset. It was surprising that we were less than 100 meters from the highway, yet we could not hear the cars.
Martin_S. Says: Some exterior views of the cave hotel we stayed in, the first photo shows the exterior of our rooms where you can see Zohara standing in the doorway...the smallest hotel door I have EVER experienced, only 60 centimeters wide unless you open the second "half" which made it 80...
Martin_S. Says: Again coming back to the cave hotel, these photos show some interior views of the rooms themselves. If you have the chance to take a few days off and enjoy being a troll for a few days, do it, the feeling is immense.The first photo is the living room.Second photo is the...
Martin_S. Says: As I have said I love architecture so Guadix was no exception when it came to wandering the streets to see what I could find. The first photo shows a building that had numerous square holes in the exterior, what in the world are they for...we conjectured that they may have...
Martin_S. Says: As in all middling to large villages or cities, Guadix has its own cathedral sitting very prominetly at the entrance to the town...here they also have a fountain with some greenry which makes the view much nicer. Usually I will not enter places of religion, but I do enjoy...

This strange and magnificent town is a must see day trip from Granada. The town itself is pretty but if you venture into the gypsy barrio on the edge of town you are in for a special treat....

Guadix is a small city. It's quiet and calm. My parents were born in a small town near it, and I keep it in a very good place of my memory.
