Come with us on a magical trip to Nerja, stopping first at one of the greatest jewels in Andalucía, The Nerja Caves which date back to pre-historic times. These magnificent caves are a series of huge cavern stretching for almost 5 kilometres and home to the worlds largest stalagmite, a 32 metre column measuring 13metres x 7 metres at its base. The caves were discovered by five local boys in 1959 who decided to go hunting for bats and headed for a pothole know as” La Mina” where they spent the night watching the bats exit the hole. They returned the next day with tools to dislodge a couple of stalactites in the entrance. Once inside, they discovered a number of skeletons next to ceramic pottery…..the caves were hence discovered and opened to the public in 1960.
