Today the Cueva Santa is a place of worship, although it is known that it was inhabited since prehistoric times. Unfortunately, it has suffered too much from human influence and most of the stalagmites and stalactites have broken off. Altars and images of saints were placed inside, which looks a bit kitschy. The cave is very humid, you can tell by the continuous noise of dripping and the vegetation at the entrance.

From up here you have a great view of the Torrecilla, the Sierra de Tolox, Sierra Cabrilla, Sierra Prieta, Sierra Alcaparaín, Sierra del Valle de Abdalajís and El Torcal de Antequera. The two villages visible from here are Yunquera (left) and Alozaina (right), both located in the Sierra de las Nieves.

As cut_the_crap has already said...this impressive cave deserves more respect from people and not to be converted into a holy place of worship. Bats also live here!!
