Malaga Cave of the Treaure

(Málaga)

This cave is known as the ´Treasure Cave´ because, according to legend, five ´Hammudies' were persecuted by the Christians and hid their possessions there. Another version of the legend says that an Álmoravid´King, Texufin Ben Alí, sent an enormous treasure from Oran that was hidden somewhere along the coast and, quite possibly, deep within this cave.

Many treasure hunters have tried their luck over the years including Don Manuel Laza who spent 35 years of his life in the pursuit. Another legend tells that the caves were the prehistoric sanctuary of the moon goddess Noctiluca.

Each August a festival of music is held inside the caves.

Situated 12 kilometres from Málaga and 39 kilometres from Nerja, in the La Cala del Moral area of Rincon de la Victoria, just off the N-340 coast road.
It is the only visible marine cave in the whole of Europe. It contains underground caverns with stalagmites, stalactites & columns and underground pools.

Man first settled here in the Palaeolithic period, between 35,000 and 10,000 years ago where they left on the wall animal paintings.
