    Manolo's knowledge and passion in sharing the history of the cave houses is a delight; he truly captivates you with what you're seeing. We met at the viewpoints at sunset, and he explained things to us again (even though he wasn't obligated to). A wonderful person, highly recommended! I still need to sleep in the cave house...

    Very interesting. And the guide explains everything very well. I highly recommend it because it's a lifestyle that's becoming less common.
