Monument to the Discoverers of the Nerja Caves

Highlight • Monument

The Nerja photographer José Padial Bobadilla was a true institution in the society of his municipality, having immortalized most of the local events since the 1950s and belonging to various groups, but in the last period of his life he was also recognized as "the author of the first photographs of the Cueva de Nerja".

Nerja Cave

Highlight • Cave

According to the tour guide, the Nerja caves were discovered by chance. In 1959, some children playing in the nearby town of Maro stumbled upon them and told their friends, teachers and relatives. Several months passed before the explorations began. This finding dated from prehistoric times was quite a spectacle. Among them were stone tools, bones, paintings and ceramics.
You have to book in advance for a VIP visit. The normal sightseeing tour has an audio guide in the language of your choice.

Trail Junction to Nerja, Frigiliana, and Pico del Cielo

Highlight • Trail

A branch from which it is 3km to the parking lot of the Cueva de Nerja or 11km into the valley until Frigillana goes. The name Nerja is misleading because the cueva / cave is actually in Maro. Or you go up the gravel / concrete piste in the mountains to the Cortijos de la Civila. We came down here on a very nice circuit.
