The Caves of Nerja, located in the town of Nerja in southern Spain, are a stunning and expansive network of underground caverns renowned for their impressive stalactites and stalagmites. Discovered in 1959, the caves stretch for almost 5 kilometers and are divided into two main sections: the Show Gallery, which is open to the public, and the High Gallery, accessible only to researchers. The caves also feature one of the world's largest stalactites, measuring 32 meters in height. In addition to their geological formations, the Caves of Nerja hold significant archaeological value, with prehistoric cave paintings and artifacts that shed light on early human life in the region.
