Staying in a cave house in Gran Canaria is a great plan!

03/08/2020 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria Leave a Comment

The orography of the interior of the island made the residents of the countryside build cave houses in Gran Canaria. Some were used for resting cows and sheep, others for storing crops and agricultural utensils, or even for shepherds and farm workers to inhabit them. Cave houses usually have a very good interior temperature throughout the year, usually around 17 and 21 degrees, depending on the season. In addition, they integrate perfectly with the landscape where they are built.
