A marvelous cathedral in the centre on this very special town. The time spent in the church will be remembered for long - we were lucky to be given a lovely presentation of the cathedral history by the charismatic priest and then to climb to the bell chamber to enjoy a breathtaking view of the town. A great place, not to be missed if you are in Guadix.

Looking for a trip out of Granada that is a little different Guadix is perfect. The cave museum and a pleasant afternoon strolling around the area and taking on the spectacular vista from the mirador is a perfect escape. The museum is a treasure trove of how life was, facinating, it appeared to be run by the bar next door - we stopped there for lunch - good honest food and friendly service. The whole village area was friendly and welcoming

4. Cascamorras
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4 reviews
A filthy fight awaits you in Granada! Cascamorras is a three-day festival during the first week of September with a dirty difference. The two towns of Guadix and Baza (go for the pottery, caves, and museums) brave battle over a statue, Virgen de la Piedad. Of course, there's a 500 year old story to back up this bizarre Spanish fiesta. Back then a builder from Guadix was working at the Merced Convent in Baza, when he came across a statue of the Virgin. The folk of Baza claimed it as theirs, much to the annoyance of their neighbors in Guadix. So every year on the same date they re-enact a scene of 'grabbing' it back, pelting the poor fool — Cascamorras — who is chosen to go and get it. He never makes it, as besides being pelted with eggs, dirty water to represent oil, and anything else they can get their hands on, he is also treated as a guest of honor and so the three-day party begins. He returns home filthy, drunk, and empty-handed. Top tip: If you do go and join in — wear old clothes!
