About Spain Cave Guide
An independent resource for exploring Spain's subterranean wonders
Why We Created This Guide
Spain Cave Guide was born from a simple observation: despite being home to some of Europe's most extraordinary cave systems, Spain's subterranean treasures often get overshadowed by its beaches, cities, and cultural landmarks. We believed that travelers deserved a dedicated, reliable resource that brings together practical visitor information with the rich geological and historical context that makes each cave unique.
Our team consists of geology enthusiasts, experienced travelers, and writers with a passion for making complex topics accessible to a broad audience. We research each cave thoroughly, drawing on published scientific studies, official tourism resources, and firsthand visitor accounts to create guides that are both informative and genuinely useful for planning a visit.
What We Cover
Our guides focus on publicly accessible caves and grottos across Spain, from the well-known tourist destinations to lesser-visited gems that deserve more attention. For each featured site, we aim to provide:
- Detailed geological and historical background, explaining how each cave formed and what makes it scientifically significant
- Practical visitor information, including location details, access options, and tips from people who have been there
- Honest assessments of what to expect, so visitors can choose destinations that match their interests and abilities
- Links to official sources and authoritative references for further reading
Our Approach to Content
We take accuracy seriously. The geological and historical information presented on this site is based on peer-reviewed research, official publications from cave management organizations, and established reference works. Where scientific debate exists (for example, around the dating of certain cave paintings), we present the range of views rather than picking sides.
We are an independent resource with no commercial affiliations with any cave operator, tour company, or accommodation provider. Our recommendations are based solely on the quality of the visitor experience and the significance of each site.
Keeping Information Current
Cave visiting conditions, opening hours, and access policies can change. We review and update our guides periodically to ensure the information remains reliable. Each article includes a "last updated" date so you can see how recent the information is. If you notice anything outdated or incorrect, we encourage you to reach out through our contact page.
