These breath-taking otherworldly landscapes and underground rock formations were declared a Natural Area of Protection in 1989.



Discover this fascinating area along with your expert, as you stroll through the various networks brimming with stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over the ages from the mineral water, which has seeped through the overhead rocks to create many spectacular formations. This subterranean world holds a great educational and scientific value, along with their speleological interest, and has made them into one of the worlds most important gypsum karst areas in the world, a real geological treasure and truly one of the geological jewels of Andalucia.
