April 18, 2024,Guadix – ruta circular por la ciudad

By chance we passed Guadix on the route from Granada to Murcia. It is really worth stopping here. Nature has formed many individual hills out of calcareous tufa, in which people have built houses. There used to be around 2000 of them, many of which are still inhabited.
