Cave House Holiday in Spain.....
The 'Cave Houses' {Casas Cuevas} situated in the Inland Granada area of Andalucia, offer an inviting and unusual form of accommodation unlike any other...
Typical Cave House in La Alqueria...
Forget the idea of dark, damp, uninviting spaces - today's cave houses are fitted with all the usual up to date facilities! Temperatures can stay at around 17 - 20 degrees inside - providing there is minimal outside build - meaning there is little or no need for heating,
or even air-conditioning.
Whether you are looking for an interesting holiday or short break, wanting to 'test' a cave before purchase, or maybe just spend a few nights in a cave, as part of a longer holiday itinerary, cave house's can offer something for everyone.
