This Cave, discovery in January 1959, is situated in the Andalusia
area of la Axarquia, between the Acantilados de Maro Natural Par and
the Tejada and almijara Sierras National Game Reserve. To be more
precise, it lies about 5km. from Nerja and 1 km from its old municipal
district of Maro.
Cave of Nerja, which has been declared an Historic-Artistic Monument,
has a total length of 4,273 m of which only a third can be visited
by the public. it is enough for those who cross the threshold to feel
the fascination for the work of erosion that, over the centuries,
the water has effected in this karstic cavity and on the marble. stalactites
and stalagmites create a landscape that seems to be straight out of
a fairy tale. Particularly impressive is the 32 m-tall Hall of the
Cataclysm. It has been calculated that this space was fashioned by
the fall of 1,000 billion drops of water. The visitor's attention
will also be drawn to the Hall of the Phantoms and the Hall of the
waterfall.
Also, in the area that goes by the name of the Organs, you will find
schematic cave signs.
