Guided tours in Guadix: explore one of Spain’s oldest cities

If you are looking for a guided tour in Guadix, you have come to the right place. Quo Wadis Tours offers walking tours of the historic centre with an official guide from the Junta de Andalucía, in small groups and with storytelling that goes far beyond anything you would read on an information panel.

Guadix is one of Spain’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. Founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago under the name Acci, it was successively Roman, Visigothic, Moorish and Castilian. Each civilisation left a deep imprint that coexists today in the same streets, the same walls — and literally in the underground layers of the city itself.

What will I see on a guided tour of Guadix?

Depending on the itinerary you choose, your tour may include:

• The Roman theatre of Guadix, recently discovered next to the Cathedral and one of the most significant archaeological finds in Andalusia in recent years.
• The Cathedral of the Incarnation, an architectural jewel blending Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic elements that dominates the historic centre.
• The Moorish Alcazaba, a fortress from the Zirid era transformed over the centuries.
• The cave district (troglodyte neighbourhood), the largest complex of inhabited cave houses in Europe, where more than 2,000 people still live in dwellings carved directly into the rock.
• The Renaissance palaces of Peñaflor and Villalegre, testimonies to Guadix’s prosperity in the 16th and 17th centuries.
• Squares, arches, viewpoints and hidden corners known only to local guides.
