I'm sure it is genuine and that the inhabitants are real gypsies living in real caves that they and their ancestors have inhabited for centuries - but I guess it is inevitable that the area has been turned into a tourist trap, especially in the evenings, when busloads of tourists are packed into the caves like sardines to see Flamenco...
