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.

The Cave of Nerja is a 4 km long and 35 km wide cave complex. It consists of two caves and is located in the north of the village. The cave is open all year round.
With it is the botanical garden, he is also worth a visit. Everywhere you hear the crickets chirping.

This time we introduce you to the Cueva de Nerja, a huge cave also called the “natural cathedral of the Costa del Sol” located just 750 meters from the coast of Nerja, the easternmost municipality of the Costa del Sol, bordering the Province of Granada borders.

Nerja Cave is known not only for its spectacular rock formations, archaeological sites and cave paintings, but also for the International Music and Dance Festival that takes place every July and August.
