According to the tour guide, the Nerja caves were discovered by chance. In 1959, some children playing in the nearby town of Maro stumbled upon them and told their friends, teachers and relatives. Several months passed before the explorations began. This finding dated from prehistoric times was quite a spectacle. Among them were stone tools, bones, paintings and ceramics.
You have to book in advance for a VIP visit. The normal sightseeing tour has an audio guide in the language of your choice.
