Nerja`s Caves

Nerja

The Nerja Caves, located in the town of Nerja in the province of Malaga, Spain, are a series of underground caverns that were formed by the action of water over millions of years. 

The caves are famous for their stunning stalactites and stalagmites, as well as their prehistoric paintings, which are estimated to be over 40,000 years old.

The Nerja Caves were discovered in 1959 by a group of young locals who were exploring the area. Since then, the caves have become a popular tourist attraction, attracting visitors from all over the world. The caves are divided into several halls, each with its unique formations and features.

One of the most impressive areas of the caves is the Hall of the Cataclysm, which contains a huge column that was formed when a stalactite and stalagmite grew together. Another highlight is the Hall of the Waterfall, which features a cascading waterfall that is illuminated to create a breathtaking effect.
