Cave Dwellings of Villanueva de las Torres

Highlight • Structure

Surrounded by an impressive landscape, the town is located at an altitude of 633 meters, in a valley near the Fardes River. The town is located within the UNESCO World Geopark of Granada, where the archaeological site of the Gorafe Megalithic Park is located. As a curiosity, the municipality is also popularly known as 'The town of the three lies' because it is not a town, nor is it new, nor does it have towers.
