Houses in Cliff

These are houses built into the side of the cliffs of the Canyon of the Júcar River. Some of the interior rooms are actually caves. Though families lived in these as their principal residence many years ago, they slowly went into disuse. Lately, people have been buying them and fixing them up as weekend homes.
