Carved out of the limestone massif 4km above Zuheros is this extraordinary cave. From the vast hall at the start of the tour, it's a 415m loop walk (with 700 steps) through a series of corridors filled with fantastic rock formations and traces of Neolithic rock paintings showing abstract figures of goats. Visits are by guided tour only: reserve by phoning between 10am and 1.30pm Tuesday to Friday or by emailing turismo@zuheros.es.
Be at the cave 15 minutes before the visit starts. The drive up to it is exhilarating; the road twists and turns through the looming mountains, with vertiginous views from various lookout points.
