Whilst staying in Mojarca, Spain we went on a coach trip to Grenada. On the way back we stopped at a tiny hamlet, where inhabitants lived in caves and earned an income from making garden pots etc from local clay. One old man rode up to the tiny bar on a donkey. He then entertained customers telling his family history of living in the caves for generations. Apparently when a young couple wanted to set up home the parents just allowed them to dig out another room in their cave and they all lived together. He enjoyed the tips and drinks the tourists treated him to.🍷🍷 A final amusing twist as we drove away was to see tv ariels poking out of the grassy mounds above the caves.😄

@@throughlucyslens Our homes are in Missouri, a place with a lot of karst caves (geologic term). It is also possible to build earth sheltered homes on private land because many counties don't have building codes. My own family were Native American settlers in Oklahoma, prior to the forced removal labeled "The Trail of Tears". People would often build a "soddy" into a hillside because on the plains there was a lack of trees to build a log cabin. My family's old soddy from the early 1800s is still in use as a food cellar on the original homestead.

Excellent video. I had heard about these cottages before but never saw any footage so I really enjoyed your tour of them. Thank you for making this little documentary. I appreciate your thorough narration with all the history too. I’m from Ketchikan, Alaska. We have lots of wood stairs that go straight up into the mountains. You cannot drive to any of the houses on these type of boardwalk “roads” and have to take the 300+ stairs. People still live in these houses today. (They are scattered all over the place). My Gramma’s house (now my aunt lives there) is halfway up a mountain if you take the stairs. Fortunately, there is a single lane, reinforced boardwalk made from wood pilings so you can drive a vehicle up there to get to all the houses perched up on the face of the mountain. I grew up thinking everyone had stairs and wooden boardwalks stuck to mountain sides 🤣. I wonder if the children who grew up in these cave houses thought the same thing about cave houses and stairs until they got out into the world 🤔. Cheers and once again, thank you.

I’m sure other commenters have said the same, but this reminds me so much of the underground houses of Coober Pedy in Australia. Some really fascinating Coober Pedy homes show up on real estate sites from time to time, which were owned by elderly people who barely altered them over the decades. They are often even sold with assorted furniture and household objects still in place, so it is a real pleasure to look through the images, like a time capsule. Similar to the homes in your video, they are generally owner-excavated, so there is a lot of personality and individuality to each room.

Thank you! And from someone who DREAMS of visiting a Bucees maybe we can do a swap? I am really proud of living here though, there really is something around every corner - even if I love going abroad too!

Such a beautifully presented video. How lovely it was, to listen to your narrative, as we joined you, on your journey into this magical little dwelling. It was so interesting! I found myself totally captivated. How lovely it must of been to live in amongst mother nature and all of her glory. Look forward to joining you on future travels. I happily subscribed and shared. Wishing you happiness on your travels. PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Thanks for the fun exploration! I think many of these people had to be forced out and that is why the history of them is scarce. There are literally thousands of these scattered across Europe.

This is so great. We have something similar in the area where i grew up in America. We called them rock houses. And they were actually over hang caves with a large open front. And they would build a front or surrounding walls out of stacked sandstone rocks. I went to school with a girl who's father grew up in one. Thanks for sharing your adventures.😊
