The CAVE of ARBEDALES It is an interesting place where the rainwater, filtering drop to drop for centuries has formed a few rocks that with the name of stalactites and stalagmites, give life to geologic formations in which the imagination and the light help to the nature to transport the visitor to an unreal world, full of surprises, mystery and astonishment before something that escapes to the materialistic comprehension in which we move and it gives certain aesthetic lyricism to the life. This cave with his onlooker trip was discovered by chance in the year 1963 in a quarry of limestone by his owner don Manuel del Busto that from the same moment and considering the importance of the find, it closed the quarry and opening artificially an access in the base of the mountain, it provided the way of entering her with more serviceability than when he entered for the first time sliding for a hollow between the rocks. It is a place that supports a constant moisture of 14th, illuminated good, of an ideal height one feels being a part of the environment, the handlebar son of the previous one, the sample tenderly and enthusiasm, it keeps her open and attended without any public assistance because I believe that we all have right to enjoy seeing her. There is opened the whole week of 11:30 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, except on Monday.
