Just a few minutes from TAIGA Almería Playa, you will find one of the most fascinating and historic villages in the province of Almería: Cuevas del Almanzora. This charming village, which combines a rich cultural heritage with stunning natural landscapes, is a must-see for all those staying at our resort who wish to explore the authentic essence of Andalusia.
INDEX A Journey Through Time Through the Old Town The heart of Cuevas del Almanzora beats in its old town, where narrow cobbled streets and traditional houses reflect centuries of history. As you stroll through these streets, you will feel transported to a bygone era, where every corner tells a story. You cannot miss the Iglesia de la Encarnación, an impressive 18th-century building that dominates the urban landscape with its imposing façade and bell tower.
The Castle of the Marquis of Los Vélez
A visit to Cuevas del Almanzora would not be complete without exploring the Castillo del Marqués de los Vélez, a 16th-century fortress that has witnessed numerous historical events. Today, the castle houses the Museum of Contemporary Art, where works by both local and international artists are exhibited. From the castle's battlements, you can enjoy panoramic views of the village and its surroundings, making this place a perfect vantage point to capture the beauty of the surroundings.
Palatial Caves: Homes That Tell Stories The name Cuevas del Almanzora is no coincidence. This village is famous for its “palatial caves”, ancient dwellings dug into the rock dating back to the Muslim era. These caves, some of which are still inhabited, offer a unique insight into troglodyte architecture, a type of construction that is perfectly suited to the hot and dry climate of the region. Visiting one of these caves is a unique experience that will allow you to better understand the life of the inhabitants of the area over the centuries.
