Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26, and I'll be presenting today's edition of #TravelDigest. Our featured posts include the city of Matera in Italy, a beach in Cateel, Philippines, and a hiking trip in Cullera, Spain. Enjoy!
We visited some very unique cave dwellings in the Sassi di Matera area. The Sassi is divided into two sections: Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. This place is ancient, with some caves dating back to incredibly early periods in human history. It's believed that the Sassi is one of the oldest human settlements in Italy. People lived, cooked and went about their lives in these caves. The area has been recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site, highlighting its significance and uniqueness. Visiting here felt like traveling back in time, seeing these amazing places from a bygone era was incredibly fascinating.

I don't know what's with this trip but I ended up being the only guest everywhere I go; this is the second night in a row that I had the entire place to myself. Aside from the caretaker and another family who maintains everything in Camp Sano, I'm all alone here. "Pick whichever room you want!" I was told by the caretaker who welcomed me that day. I picked the hut closest to the beach.

Cullera does have a lovely historic center, but that’s not the architecture which is makes the biggest impression — instead, it’s the huge high-rises lined along the coast. It’s hard to believe that buildings this imposing are found in such a small coastal town. Cullera has a population of just 22,000, and I feel like just three of these massive buildings could hold that many people.
