Hiking

The caves of the Knight consist of seven cavities, but six of them are artificial. It is possible that in ancient times they were used as cave houses. Today they are closed with bars.

Hiking

The Caballero Caves are an archaeological site made up of twelve natural caves, most of them converted into habitable caves by crushing. They are distributed on a platform facing south and are therefore whipped by the northern trade winds. With magnificent views over the Bentayga and the Nublo basin.

Hiking

The Los Caballeros Caves are a collection of seven caves located in the upper reaches of the Riso Chapin massif, from where there is a wonderful view of the Caldera de Tejeda crater. Six of the seven caves were man-made into the rock. They were probably places of worship and not dwelling caves.
