The province is well connected by major roads and the main town is worthy of a visit. The town has always been a significant religious place and was the first place in Spain to welcome Christianity en masse.

The cathedral (above) was built between the 16th and 18th centuries and contains an important collection of 47 canvasses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Next door is an important palace.

One of the biggest is on 16th and 17th January when during the Romería de San Antón when pilgrims set out to the hermitage then ride horseback round the town, nine times. San Torcuato's Day is on 15th May when mass is given by the Bishop and the remains of the saint are paraded round the town.

The main carnival is the weekend before Ash Wednesday and the summer fair takes place 31st August to 5th September. This is then followed by Cascamorras on the 9th September when the villain Cascamorras is run round the town.

Easter week in Guadix is typical of Spain with major celebrations all week.
