Baza is an ancient hillside town in the province of Granada in Southeast Spain. It is an enclave of Moorish/Arabic Andalucia and is a much sought after location for its cave-style Spanish property.
Baza and its surrounding landscape is rich in history. Fossils from prehistoric creatures have been found in the Baza Basin, as well as evidence of early human activity in Spain. The town itself is best described as Arabic in appearance. Everywhere you go a Moorish influence is apparent. Much of the restoration that has taken place in the region too has preserved this feel, giving it enormous tourist appeal.
The surrounding hillsides around the town are covered in small hamlets. All offer opportunities to buy Spanish property, from beautifully restored villas to derelict Baza property in need of renovation. Arguably the most interesting type of Baza property on the market though are the cave houses and cave villas.
Cut into the hillside, restored cave houses and cave villas offer a unique opportunity to travel back to a time when the Moorish community took refuge in caves on the hillside. These properties have been beautifully and luxuriously restored, offering all the modern facilities of a 21st century property, while retaining the nuances of Moorish cave life. For investors looking for a villa in Spain to generate rental income, Baza cave properties could fit the bill, and provide a good marketing angle for the owner.
