Are the formation of karstic cavities, with its origin in the chain of the geologic processes occurred within the last ww5 million years. In the period of Triassic significant quantities of the calcareous mud settled down on the fond of the ancient Mediterranean sea, later on transforming into the calcareous-dolomite marble, which at present shelter the Caves of Nerja. In the period of the alpine orogeny (the end of Cretaceous – beginning of Miocene), started 65 million years ago and lasting up to 5 million years ago, drifts between tectonic layers of Africa and Europe resulted in the creation of the Beticas mountains, such as Sierra Tejeda or Almijara. The rain abundance in the last 5 million years (Superior Mioceneand – Inferior Pleistocene) infiltrated the fissures of marbles stimulating its further dissoluton. In this way, huge cavities in which the underground waters circulated were formed.

Later on due to the surge of the ground embossment, resulting from the mountain slides in the region in question, the subterranean waters were forced to look for the lower layers to circulate in. In the consequence the caves commenced to refill with carbonate deposits stalactites and stalagmites. In the last 800,000 years (Medium Pleistocene and Holocene) the impressive stalactites and stalagmites have been formed thanks to the further settling of calcite. The settlement processes have created subterranean scenery of the Caves of Nerja , wich can be admired nowadays.
Discovered by schoolboys hunting for bats in 1959, the collection of caverns was soon recognised as being one of the most important cave systems in the country. They provided archaeological proof that Cro-Magnon lived in these parts more than 20,000 years ago and the rupestrian paintings discovered there depicting dolphins are the only known examples from the Upper Palaeolithic era.

It is possible to explore some of the chambers and caverns not yet open to the public by joining a speleological group, consisting of a maximum 10 people over the age of 14. No special physical skills are necessary. For enquiries call the Number listed below. Tel: 952 - 529 - 520

There are a wide range of cultural events throughout the year. Of particular note is the acclaimed " Nerja Caves Festival", wich takes place amongst stalactites and stalagmites, wich were formed over millions of years. The Nerja Caves are currently the 3rd most visited monument in the whole of Spain.
