While many of the cave houses in Andalusia, particularly those around the area of Granada, have been excavated the dwellings and workplaces situated underground in Setenil de las Bodegas are in naturally formed caves that have been occupied since prehistoric times.Here are some photos.

Roman Ruins Outside Seville

Just outside the city of Seville are the remnants of the first permanent Roman Settlement in Spain.

The city was established by the famous warrior , Scipio the African as a place to rest his soldiers after doing battle with the Carthaginians. Later Hadrian (he that built the wall) extended the settlement as a tribute to the his predecessor Trajan who was born at the site previously named "Italica"

Magnificent Seville in Southern Spain

• If architecture is your thing you might like to visit Seville ("Sevilla" in Spanish). It is a little known fact that the capital of the Spanish Autonomous Region of Andalusia has the largest historical centre of any city in Europe.
