Needs as needs must, as they say. Not everyone can afford a McMansion, nor does everyone even want that. From our purview, we like smaller. Easier to clean. Less clutter. Quicker to assemble when family and friends show up unexpectedly. We were watching a video on YouTube the other day about this very subject. Once again, the subject matter is about “smaller” and better.
The Europeans are very good at this. But, as you’ll see in the video, the residents of Guadix, Spain take it to a whole new level. And when you hear the discussions about how and why it works, you may start having second thoughts. It won’t shock that these are located in Spain, where history is still extant and you can still find a place to breathe. These cave dwellings have been inhabited for centuries, with roots tracing back to the Moorish era. Besides the caves, the white chimneys protruding from the hillsides create a surreal and picturesque landscape. Stunning.

Guadix is famous for its “cuevas,” or cave houses, where a significant portion of the population still lives. These dwellings are carved into the soft clay hillsides, providing natural insulation and a constant comfortable temperature year-round.
Finally, there are tours for these marvels. Visitors can explore these cave houses, some of which have been converted into museums or tourist accommodations, offering a glimpse into this unique way of life.
