This was a very special and humbling experience - not to be missed if you are visiting Ronda! The tour lasts an hour and the guide explains historical and geological points of interest. The cave paintings are really special. There is a rare musical surprise at the end of the tour!! You

Cueva de Nerja

With a volume of more than 100,000 m3 and a surface covering 9,371 m2, the Tourist galleries represent approximately one-third of the cave. The cave has been used as a habitat, a burial site and for cultural expression. There are remnants testifying to the passage of hunters, gatherers and fishermen from more than 30,000 years ago. The General Visit starts with the screening of a audiovisual presentation in which you will be able to see spectacular details of the cave (10 minutes). Then an audio-guided visit through the different chambers of the Cave, in a pleasant walk of about 45 minutes where you will discover the many secrets the grotto keeps (audio-guided in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Russian). When the cave closes its doors, a small group of privileged people can enter the mystery of the underworld to enjoy the magnificence and beauty of the cave, and discover its secrets. You can choose between three modalities of Exclusive Tours

We went to Nerja for a day trip from Malaga and we had a great time visiting the cave, it is amazing, we followed the tour guide and he explain everything about it also with an audio guide, very recommended visit . After the cave we went to Nerja town and visit the Museum which is very modern and interesting. Nerja is a very quiet town and everyone is friendly.

Cueva del Tesoro

Caves in the town of Rincon .you might think it a suburb of Malaga. Prehistoric and run by the government.

Reviewed By mariaben64 - Sydney, Australia

We visited the caves as a family group and spent an interesting hour walking through the various caverns and listening to the audio guide providing information on the history and features. Good value and an unexpected surprise. The caves are unusual in that they were formed by the action of the sea millions of years ago when the sea level was much higher. Well worth a visit for all ages.

Cueva del Gato

Reviewed By X6223VBtomc - Bourne, United Kingdom

Stopped off here on an afternoon drive up from the coast to Ronda. Parking is free and easy - just off the main road and there is a track that leads down to the cave, which is clearly visible from the car park, easy to follow, but a little steep in places. The cave itself is very impressive and you can get up into it - that path is quite narrow and there are warning signs all over the place advising against it. I carefully took my two older kids up there for a quick peek in the opening, but went no further. The plunge pool in front of the cave is something else - absoutely crystal clear, but very very cold! A few of us were brave enough to go in - though it took ages to build up the courage to fully submerse; much to the amusement of onlookers. Take goggles and give it a go - even if just for a few minutes - watching the fish swim past you and the view under the water is amazing (Also take beach shoes as it is rocky). Some folks were diving in at the deeper part, but we weren't that brave. I think an hour or two for a quick stop or picnic is ample time to appreciate this lovely spot. There is a bar back up the track a bit, but we didn't stop there, so can't comment on it.

Cueva de las Columnas

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

Very short, easy and rewarding climb: there are stairs with railings leading to the Caves. You can sit in the bench in the caves and enjoy the views. It is so worth doing even fir those who are afraid of heights like I am. Was not bad at all!
