This Cave, discovery in January 1959, is situated in the Andalusia
region 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 5 km from Nerja and 1 km from
its old municipal district of Maro.
The Cave of Nerja, which has been declared an Historic-Artistic
Monument, has a total length of 4,283 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.
