The great extension of its lakes, the abundance and variety of formations, and the length of its development make this underground complex a complex of great beauty and showiness. This spring of inexhaustible beauty, forged by time on nature itself with the help of elements as simple as water and stone, offers an exceptional set of galleries, halls, lakes and underground courses.

The name Los Marines has a curious history: during a visit by King Felipe II to the municipality, an inhabitant asked him why, being so powerful, he didn't bring the sea to the town. The king's response was: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors." Since then, all the young men of the town performed their military service in the navy of Huelva. This picturesque municipality, surrounded by nature and beauty, is an ideal place to explore during a getaway to the Sierra de Huelva. Do not hesitate to visit Los Marines and enjoy its charm.
