Information about the cave was there in Spanish:

"CAVE OF THE MORISCAS
The cave is located in Los Llanos de Las Moriscas, Agaete.
The ancient Canarians dug a rectangular one out of a natural tufa cave
Room dug with silos.
It was later used for cattle breeding.
Note: Silos (or granaries) are cavities where excess grain was stored.
WE RESPECT AND CARE FOR OURSELVES
HERITAGE!" (Source: note in cave, see photo 🤓)

In front of the cave there is a small stone wall that prevents direct access from the path. We accepted this "sign" and did not enter the cave, even though it is possible to do so via a side crossing...

There are always caves that you come across on your hike. This is also exciting.
