A spectacular place with a new sculpture every day. But keep in mind that it's a private space where the owner has created his own non-profit gallery. It should be respected, and if it's not well signposted, simply asking around and spreading the word will surely help ensure this unique spot remains undisturbed.

Roca Toñi is a very special place. It is a private area with several cave dwellings artfully carved out of the stone, as well as numerous sculptures carved into the stone or out of the stone. As this area is privately owned, you have to make an appointment in advance or be lucky enough to run into Toñi and Manuel by chance and be invited by them to take a look. It is definitely worth it.

The Cueva del Agua in Santiago-Pontones is an impressive karst formation located in the Sierra de Segura, in Jaén. This cave is known for its natural beauty and spectacular surroundings, which include waterfalls and rich vegetation.

A hike worth the detour

The route to the Malena Waterfall begins in Cazorla and is ideal for the whole family. It is a circular route that follows the Cerezuelo River. Along the way, you will enter a narrow gorge, crossing wooden bridges and enjoying the rich riverside vegetation. The first section of the trail will take you to the Malena waterfall itself. Near the waterfall is the Cueva de la Malena, which, according to the elders, was a refuge for bandits during the time of the reconquest. The cave is also shrouded in legends, such as that of the Tragantía, whose song warned: “I am the tragantía, daughter of the Moorish king; "Whoever hears me sing will not see the light of day." Since then, the cave has remained virtually inaccessible due to undergrowth that makes access difficult.

This spring located in the village of La Toba, flows very cold water in summer and warm in winter (although the water is always at the same temperature), inviting anyone to cool off or fill up with fresh water.
