What you can expect

Take a trip to the end of the world. That's the name of the viewpoint at Granada Geopark, an extraordinary place with breathtaking views. See for yourself why this point is named after you. See the Troglodyte City, a district of houses carved into the rock in the town of Guadix. See this unique town with history and monuments dating back to Roman times. Do some shopping at the great market in Guadix held on Saturdays.

Start your tour at the Granada Geopark. Reach the ‘End of the World’ by car. Take a break to walk, enjoy the views, and take photos. The Granada Geopark, declared a World Geopark by UNESCO in 2020, is home to unique landscapes: a semi-desert featuring a succession of tens of thousands of gullies and badlands surrounded by mountains and the peaks of the Sierra Nevada.

From the Geopark, set off for the centre of Guadix. Take an hour break to visit the market and possibly do some shopping. The next stage will be the city of Troglodytes, a rock city. Arrive here by car. Walk around the town and enjoy the views from viewpoints.

The local Guadix environment has left its mark on the way of life of the local population, forcing them to construct a peculiar type of family and communal dwelling: caves. The exact date when the caves began to be used as a living space is unknown, but it is presumed to be some time after the Islamic period. Construction was in full swing by the first half of the 16th century. At the present there are around 2000 caves, inhabited by some 3000 people, the largest cave complex in Europe.

Return to the centre of Guadix. Walk around the old town, visit the cathedral and other monuments. Arrange free time for lunch, shopping, tapas, and relaxation. Guadix is one of the oldest human settlements in Spain. It was an important Roman colony, called Julia Gemella Acci, and one of the first Christian dioceses in Spain. Under Muslim rule, the city acquired the Arab urban layout, which still prevails in some streets.

After your free time, return to your hotel in Granada.
