Cava d'Ispica, Sicilia

The caves of Ispica are actually something pretty darned impressive and cool. Both cool in a literal sense, as they are caves after all, but also more in the impressive sense. There is archaeological evidence that dates back to the prehistoric times, but the majority of the tombs themselves were there up to the late 17th century. They are really impressive, and to be buried in these small permanent coffins must have been some sort of honour. If you are the south of Sicily, go for a poke around the park, it is easy to get around, has some interesting information and for a couple of Euros you won't be able to get something this cool anywhere else in all of Europe (for my mind anyway).

hand carved, this must have taken quite some time!

Sentimental Setenil de las Bodegas

Setenil de las Bodegas, is a funny little town. It is built, in part, into the rock face with some of the houses and businesses being based in the rocks. It can of course mean that some places look really dank and wet, while others look super impressive. It was a fun town to drive in as many of the streets were just the size of our hire car! Scary but fun at the same time.

One of the constantly wet looking houses.

A bar is always a welcome addition.

The surrounding hillsides, reminds me a lot of Australia and somehow Switzerland!
