MUSEO CUEVA LA IMMACULADA
Go there and contact
This museum will be the opportunity to visit Purullena, a city that received the name of cave city in 1960, as for the time, the only existing monument was the church and that all the inhabitants lived in caves. Today, more than 400 families still live there, making it one of the largest concentrations in the Guadix comarca. The circuit is made in three stages corresponding to different times, thus allowing a better perception of the constants and differences in this mode of habitat. First of all, we visit a cave of today, inhabited, to see that we live there as well as in other types of houses, but with a temperature of around 20 degrees in a natural way. We will then move on to a cellar under construction to learn, if we wish, the method of creating it by digging it, picar. Accessible by an inside ladder or a ramp, the second level allows you to discover the oldest cave, dating back more than 300 years and decorated as in the last century. This level also houses the cave-museum displaying old tools, furniture and photos from villages throughout the region. There is also a viewpoint to all the caves of Purrullena, the Alhama-Fardes Valley and the Sierra Nevada.
