Las Cuevas del Rodeo – ROJALES

The village of Rojales lies in the centre of the agricultural area of Vega Baja, close to Quesada, and is worth a visit in its own right, being typical of the Spanish villages in the area. However, high up the hill beside the town lies a little gem of a place called Las Cuevas del Rodeo, a complex of cave-houses which, over the last few years has been occupied by an artisan colony with about 20 open as workshops and studios. The occupiers are happy to tell you about the caves´colourful history and, if you´re lucky, you might catch one of the cultural events held there ocassionally, such as the Medieval market. There´s a great little bar there too, perched on the hill with stunning views and live music on Friday nights.
