Good afternoon

Take the local bus from town centre as the walk is a good trek from town. The caves themselves are stunning with superb accustics and occasionally concerts are held inside. Well worth a visit.

The Nerja caves touring area is not too large. The actual walking part of the tour, after the presentation film, took 30 minutes to complete. The caves are very beautiful and a wonderful attraction for those visiting the area. The staff were very friendly and...More
