Abstract
The north of the province of Granada is a territory well denfinied by its historical and geomorphological characteristics. Crossroads between certain peninsular contexts, human presence has been recorded since Prehistory. Due to its geomorphology, it has been dedclared a Geopark, recognizing its unique physical characteristics. It is in this setting that we find the most importantexcavated architectural ensemble in southern Europe. Perfectly adapted to the environment, the cave dwellings in the area the best response that humans have given to environmental conditions of extreme temperature, lack of regular rains and the absence of a vegetation cover that has allowed the proliferation of this characteristic habitat.The functionality of traditional architecture is being one of the best responses to climate change due to its constructive efficiency, energy savings or environmental footprints, among other circumstances. Without losing sight of their cultural values, some proposals, such as the Excavated Habitat and Cultural Landscape Project, seek to revalue its importance.
