The El Rodeo caves were dug out of the slope of a raised area between the 18th and 20th centuries to create housing. They were built by experienced miners who moved to Rojales specifically for this project. Their knowledge undoubtedly made it possible to create this special urban landscape!
The El Rodeo caves are now home to craft businesses and there is even a collection on the history of these caves.

The Cuevas del Rodeo is a group of caves. They were excavated in the 18th and 19th centuries by Murcian miners who, thanks to their skill as stonemasons, built their dwellings in the rock, creating a veritable underground urban fabric that would later house generations of Rojales residents until the early 20th century.

Today the caves serve as galleries for artists of various art movements. On the first Sunday of every month, the artists open their cuevas for an "Open Day".
