Today we made the official visit to the cave, it's a pity they didn't let us take photos inside.

This palace was built in the 16th century, and after the damage suffered in the Carlist Wars, it has been consequently reformed to its current appearance.

Just amazing and a ride for the whole family! It is a complex of karstic caves 12 km long with cavities of immense dimensions of up to 14 x 28 meters in some sectors. The water has been forming these incredible caves that fortunately today can be visited and explored. It is necessary to purchase tickets online, you can check here: https://cuevas.culturadecantabria.com/cullalvera-esp/
