|Granada has a long history of cave communities, notably in the soft-rocked suburb of Sacromonte, formed by those expelled as undesirable by the city: gypsies, Jews and Muslims.
So it’s perhaps not surprising to find this complex of unusual, man-made 18 cave ‘houses’, set in a restored farmhouse in nearby Benalua. Each is uniquely designed, with a cave-like interior.
