Cuevas de Nerja

(Nerja)
On January 12th, 1959, quite by chance five boys from Maro found a narrow access to a cave that, after having been inhabited for millennia in Prehistoric times, had been closed because of the shifting of the terrain. The Caves of Nerja, National Monument,ares a rocky formation of crystalline dolomites with more than 250.000 years of age, and one of the oldest deposits of the Solutrean culture in Southern Spain.

The cave is 4,283 metres long, though only a third of this is open to tourists. The cave has three points of entry, two of them natural and one constructed in 1960 for tourists. The cave can be divided into three sections: The Show Cave, or Lower Galleries which has been developed for tourists with steps, concrete pathways and lighting, the Upper Galleries which were discovered in 1960 and the New Galleries which were discovered in 1969.

Their capricious rocky formations can be likened to Modernist Cathedrals, and their eight rooms include the Room of the Cataclysm, with the biggest natural column in the world, 49 m. high and with a diameter of 18 m., as well as the Room of the Cascade, with capacity for a stage and 600 seats, where every year in August the Festivals of Music and dance take place.
