Cehegín is part medieval and part modern with the old sector perched on a hill with lots of historic buildings and the more modern section offering all modern conveniences. The area has found a new lease of life over the past years due to the influx of foreign purchasers including British buyers and now boasts many new businesses including a British run Bed & Breakfast next door. Cehegin is also close to Caravaca de la Cruz which is counted amongst the top holiest cities in the world and here you will find the annual event `Running of the Wine Horses´ which is televised throughout Spain.
