The magnificent Nerja Caves – Cuevas de Nerja – are a series of huge caverns stretching for almost five kilometres and home to the world’s largest stalagmite, a 32 metre high column measuring 13 metres by 7 metres at its base.

The Caves at Maro, Nerja are just amazing, walk through the caves and be taken back millions of years. And feel how excited the young boys where when they discovered the caves back in the 1950´s The caves are just outside of Nerja and are open from 10am to 2pm and again in the evenings.

The Nerja Caves one of Spain's top tourist attractions. A series of stunning huge underground caverns which stretch for almost five km. and were once home to prehistoric man. Cool inside on a hot day!

Popular destination for a daytrip to see very large caves. Nerja is also a nice village to have lunch by the sea.
