GUADIX
Guadix, known as Colonia Iulia Gemella Acci to the Romans and Wadi-As to the Arabs, is a city blessed by its prime geographical location, by a wealth of monuments and by its historical centre. Its main attraction is the landscape, nestling at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in a site known as the “Hoya de Guadix”, a depression surrounded by spectacular stacks of clayey soil which, for centuries, have been moulded by the wind, the water and by the hand of man. With the passing seasons, the landscape becomes a varied collage of reds, ochres, greens, blues, whites and greys, a gift to the eyes and to the spirit.
