It is a large system of underground caves with two entrances. Cueva del Gato is the lower exit of the cave, with an impressive waterfall. The upper entrance is about 4 kilometers further north, in Montejaque, with the name Cueva del Hundidero.

The name of this cave is due to the fact that the entrance seems to be in the shape of a cat's face. You see it?

This wonderful place has been declared a Natural Monument and with good reason. It is a cave with a natural waterfall that marks the outlet of the Guadiaro river after its channel hides inside the rock, traveling through caves and underground galleries for almost 4 km from the site known as Hundidero del Gato upstream. Here you will also find a picnic area and benches that make it the ideal place for a break and appreciate this wonderful environment. Take care and respect the indications, it is forbidden to enter the cave.
