Why Cueva de Nerja matters
On the coast east of Malaga lies the Nerja Cave, a series of giant caverns filled with stalactites and columns. Prehistoric people lived here, and paintings have been found in the deeper galleries. A concert hall of sorts, the main chamber hosts a music festival. The seaside town of Nerja is nearby.
Talking points
- It contains enormous stalactite and stalagmite formations.
