Postcard from Granada, Spain: In the Caves and On the Streets


Cave dwellings are popular in the hills of Sacromonte because of their natural temperature regulation; these cave houses maintain a steady temperature of 19-20 degrees Celsius year round. These caves are not simply a hole in a mountain but often contain many amenities available in more traditional houses such as electrical appliances and a full kitchen.
