Take in Nerja Caves Costa Del Sol

These are amazing incredible caves, some of the best in The european union, that truly should not be missed should the chance comes up. Each July a fete of gypsy dancing music and dance is held within the caves.
Formally acknowledged as an historic and artistic repository, Nerja Caves are one of the most influential Prehistoric archeological land sites found on the westerly Med. Dating back some five million years, they are famed for the magnanimous chambers full of stalactites and stalagmites, and the huge length, over 4,000 metres.




Found by schoolboys hunting for bats in 1959, the offering of caverns was soon acknowledged to be one of the most influential cave systems in the country. They rendered archaeologic substantiation that Cro Magnon lived in these regions above 20,000 years ago and the rupestrian sketches detected there portraying dolphins are the only known cases for this Upper Palaeolithic era.

Every June there has been a Fete Of Music and Dancing held in the auditorium from the 1st cave which supplies a wizardly background to ballet, classical music and singing. Premier public figures perform and the seats is not a lot of so check into tickets well in advance.

One time a sleepy fishing hamlet, Nerja has kept on its Andalucian characteristics, in particular in the old quarter by way of its narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed residences. The custom is set to continue as a result of implemented limitations on developing of the town.
