Actually they are not even houses in the real sense of the word, because they consist of the front door and the cave behind the door. There are three cave houses open for public- “Diablo”, “Masagó” and “Garadén”.
San Andrés is an ancient church. It is not known when exactly the church was built. It is assumed that this occurred between the sixteenth and the eighteenth century. It is located right next to the Arabic fortress.
