On from Guadix

|
En route towards AlmerAa you pass through more of the strange, tufa-pocked landscape from which the Guadix caves are hewn. The main landmark, 16km beyond Guadix, is a magnificent sixteenth-century castle on a hill above the village of
La Calahorra
. One of the finest in Spain with a remarkable Renaissance patio within, it's open Wednesdays only (10am-4pm & 4-6pm; free); outside these times visit the guardian's house - avoiding siesta time - at c/de los Claveles 2, and he will open it up for a consideration. Guadix-AlmerAa buses normally follow the train line, along the minor N324 over the last section. If you're driving, you might want to keep going straight on the main road, meeting the AlmerAa-Sorbas road at what has become known as
Mini Hollywood
, the preserved film set of
A Fistful of Dollars
. Other useful information
