Situated just about 5 km north of Nerja, this is a must do if in the region. Parking can be a bit tight, but helpfully some enterprising people have set up a car park just outside the gate.

There is also room where you can enjoy a VR experience with goggles and headphones covering the caves and the Nerja plaza by drone. You sit in a revolving chair and spin round to get the full 360 degree experience. There are clean...
