Our favourite cave houses in Spain

Lisa  Townend

Cave houses have a long history in Spain, particularly in Andalucia, where cave living has been common for centuries. Offering plenty of charm and character on a budget, Spanish cave homes have seen a resurgence in popularity and are a popular option for expats looking for authenticity. 

 

Recognised for their natural insulating qualities, cave houses keep a consistent temperature all year round. The rocks and stones that make up the property’s walls give great sound insulation too, creating a quiet sanctuary inside.
