A breathtakingly beautiful and magnificent hike to the Argua Garchia caves. It had rained three days before our hike, and we had to be very careful not to slip. Despite this, it was a fantastic hike to the caves that we won't forget. The caves were created to extract sand from the mountains for glassmaking. Unfortunately, the profits weren't sufficient, and the Spanish ceased production. This happened many years ago, and the local poor then used the caves as living quarters. Hardly imaginable by today's standards.

A visit is highly recommended and fascinating 👍🏻.
