caves at nerja

Awe inspiring. The beauty of the caves and its wonderful history. A very special place. Make sure you get the head set otherwise you will miss a lot of the history which adds so much more to the visit. Lots of steps - I have bad knees but managed ok, just take your time. Not cold like a lot of caves. Would visit them again as they are still working on areas not yet open to the public. The thought that people lived in them nearly 30 thousand years ago is mind boggling.Nothing

Huge and really impressive! Get there early to avoid the crowds, there's a beautiful restaurant there too.

The caves are a short bus ride away and are definitely worth visiting. They are huge, the inside is vast and the lighting has been use to great effect. In the summer there are concerts - would love to be there for that.

Brilliant whole day out. then go over to Maro for a drink and tapas. The civic centre is cheap and very good

These REALLY are a must. Just mind blowing, but perhaps not if you dont like the occasional rope bridge. Only about half of it --so far-- open to us, bur superb. A MUST !!

Wonderful deep caves just outside Nerja town. Easy short bus rise to caves. 9 euro entry fee for an unguided 45 min walk around the chambers. Quite steep walkways to the upper sections, but worth the climb. Stunning caves and we'll preserved. No gimmicks. Great short trip out. For 2 more euro you can combine with a visit to the museum, located in the town, beside the Balcón de Europa.

If you are in Nerja, don't miss to visit this amazing cave. An adventurous place. Very old and found by accident som 60 years ago. Amazing sculptures to be seen, while you are walking deep down under. Some parts of the cave can be cold, so be sure to bring a jacket.

Enjoyed seeing the huge caves and the spectacular rock formations.Don't go around lunchtime they close for a couple of hours.Lots of steps so not for the less mobile.Entrance fee 9€ I recommend getting the audio guides 2.50€ for the English narration as you move around.The parts of the caves with the cave paintings are not accessible to the public.Bus stop outside fare from Nerja 1.17€

...The government employees who are managing it close the at 1 P M for their siesta. You have to return at 4. And they do not let you see any of the primitive art for so called "conservation" reasons. Live tours in Spanish are only available for the "chosen" groups. On the good note, parking is only 1 euro. Regardless if you visited the cave or not!

These caves are just fantastic. The history behind, how they were found by a co-incidence by some yongsters is one thing. another is what was happening in the caves years ago - it was a living place for folks and animals and it is a good idea to read about this before visiting. that will enhance the impression a lot.However, just the sight of the caves is fantastic, almost unbelievable! Visit the place, it speaks for itselves.There is good parking space, a small cafe and a souvenir shop, toilettes etc. The only problem would be that you must not have difficulties in walking. There are many steps and small passes in the caves.Also a little chilly down there so be prepared with a sweater! But enjoyable experience!

Anyone visiting Nerja for the first time then the caves are a must as the presentation is excellent and the formations inside spectacular

An amazing place with fascinating stalagtites and stalagmite formations and rock structures. You need a good camera to be able to take any worthwhile pictures. The guide gave commentary in Spanish so the trip for my partner and I was more about the visual impact and less about the history and geology of the place. Well worth seeing though and not expensive.

From malaga it took me less than 30mins to get to Nerja, easy access from the motorway and well sign-posted... It is effortless. We got there at 3:30, tickets were on sale at 3:45 and the entry was at 4., They take a group at a time., so if you miss the first entry, relax, another one starts every 45mins or so. 1€ for parking, not a lot of walking to the sight. Its not cold inside... 17-21 degrees all year round. And yes there are stairs but its do-able, i went with a granny of 65 and a young child. Very interesting., there are 11 'caverns' to see. Impressive!!!!The guide walks you through them: on the whole easy and comfortable. 9€ entry Is quite cheap., 5 for kids. There are loos and restaurant nearby. Well run! And why not give it a visit!? We loved the outing

This should, more appropriately, be "the cave" as 2 important caves are reserved for specialist groups so we don't get to see them. What we are offered is an exciting spectacle. I would like to have been told a little more about the origins and history on my way round. It's not expensive and the facilities are good.
