People have lived in caves in and around Cuevas del Almanzora for thousands of years. Contemporary cave-homes are not open to the public, but if you want to see a relatively comfortable dwelling from the mid-20th century, head round the corner from the town's castle to the Cueva Museo. This cave housed a family with eight children up until the 1960s.
The helpful attendant was born in a cave herself so can tell you everything you want to know about cave life – providing you speak some Spanish, that is.
