After a day touring around Granada we decided to stay closer to home and do some sightseeing around where we were staying. The big attraction around Nerja seemed to be the caves. We were rather excited to check the caves out. Although their "slogan" is "one of the most visited attractions in Spain" - we were still confident this would be a less visited attraction. I think the "one of the most" gave it away.
The caves are a relatively recent discovery - they were found in 1959 by some school kids. The caves date back to prehistoric times. They have been used over the years by man and animals for a variety of functions. I think it would be an archeologists dream give the artifacts that are still being found in the caves. They have done a really good job setting up the caves for visitors. They have even created a little theatre in one of the big areas and they hold concerts there in the summer time. I think it would be an incredible venue.
This was clearly not a stroller venue so it was a good thing we brought the carrier. I was on baby duty and Mark was on camera duty. We were not allowed to use a flash. However, Mark still got some really great photos!
