This Cave, discovery in January 1959, is situated in the Andalusia
region of la Axarquia, between the Acantilados de Maro Natural Par
and the Tejada and almijara Sierras National Game Reserve. To be
more precise, it lies about 5 km from Nerja and 1 km from its old
municipal district of Maro.
The Cave of Nerja, which has been declared an Historic-Artistic
Monument, has a total length of 4,283 m of which only a third can
be visited by the public. it is enough for those who cross the threshold
to feel the fascination for the work of erosion that, over the centuries,
the water has effected in this karstic cavity and on the marble.
stalactites and stalagmites create a landscape that seems to be
straight out of a fairy tale. Particularly impressive is the 32
m-tall Hall of the Cataclysm. It has been calculated that this space
was fashioned by the fall of 1,000 billion drops of water. The visitor's
attention will also be drawn to the Hall of the Phantoms and the
Hall of the waterfall.
Also, in the area that goes by the name of the Organs, you will
find schematic cave signs.
