There are numerous caves and chasms present in Sierra Elvira, some even with their own legends. On April 19, 1956, there was a strong earthquake in Atarfe and Albolote in which several people died and a New York newspaper covered the event, blaming the earthquake on possible volcanic activity in the area. Later, a team of speleologists denied these speculations, but since then the area has been shrouded in mystery that attracts many to explore its many caverns.

The cave is a little hidden, so it's easy to miss.
