Fundación Cueva de Nerja
Landmark
Open Details
In 1959, a group of school boys playing ball discovered the caves by pure accident when their ball rolled out of sight. When they went to retrieve it, they found themselves in the mouth of an ancient - and previously unknown - cave system.
While the cave stretches nearly 5 km (3.1 miles), you'll only be exploring the largest of the five-million-year-old caverns.
Neanderthal cave paintings and skeletal remains, amongst the impressive stalagmites and stalactites, have been found in the caves showing evidence of early human inhabitants.
The audio guide will keep the kid's attention focused on all they are about to see and experience.
If you have time when you're finished, there's a fabulous children's park just behind the gift shop.
A small cafe with drinks and snacks is also onsite.
