NewsIncredible Town Built Underneath Giant Rock
This is the incredible town built UNDERNEATH a giant rock formation. The quaint town of Setenil de las Bedegas - which has just 3,000 residents - has become a major tourist draw for its spectacular man-meets-nature architecture. The bottom of giant rocks help form roofs across entire streets, while many homes in the town are simply expanded caves with external walls built on the front. The quaint town dates back to the 12th century, when the cliffs were used as a natural protection to fortify the fledgling city. Walking through the streets, passersby are blown away by the many precariously hanging boulders - some creating natural roofs for homes, stores and restaurants. Most amazingly, one large overhang covers an entire block of whitewashed houses, which provides relief form the intense Southern Spanish summers.
NewsChurch Perched On Top Of Rock Pillar
This is one way to take your devotion to God to new heights - by worshipping in a church perched on top of a rock pillar. The remote Georgian Monastry can only be accessed via a rickety and rusting metal ladder that rises up the side of the 40 meter rock, called the Katskhi Pillar. On top, monk Maxime Qavtaradze, has lived a life of solitude for more than 20 years. Having worked as a crane operator before becoming ordained in 1993, Maxime has always had a huge head for heights. Perched onto of the rocky column, Maxime has a small cottage where he resides, as well as a church. He only ventures down to the bottom once or twice a week - spending the rest of the time in solitude. Food is winched up to him by devotees who live in a community at the foot of the pillar. The community is made up of largely ‘troubled’ men, who wish to atone for their sins by praying for up to seven hours a day, typically from 2am until dawn. A drone videographer, Martin Pohanka, filmed these incredible shots showing the isolated and inaccessible nature of the church in December.

Getting a good night’s sleep is important for boosting our immune systems and improving our overall health. Researchers have found that some foods have sleep-promoting properties to help us get the recommended eight hours a night.

Turkey is high in protein and contains the amino acid tryptophan, both of which can induce tiredness. Researchers have found that eating two kiwis one hour before bed can make you fall asleep 40% faster. Chamomile tea has been found to improve the quality of sleep, and also reduce symptoms of depression. Beverages that include caffeine or foods that are high in fiber should be avoided before bedtime. Some vegetables that are high in fiber, such as broccoli, can make you less comfortable while sleeping.
