| Nerja Caves |
The historic monument which is the most spectacular are the Nerja caves which are located just three kilometres from the centre of town and comprise a natural archaeological cave containing the world's widest column.
Wall paintings found inside the caves date from the Palaeolithic and post-Palaeolithic periods while skeletal remains and artefacts show that they were inhabited from about 25,000 BC up until the Bronze Age.
These fantastic caves have been sympathetically transformed into a natural theatre where several concerts and ballets are staged during the summer. During July and August this year there is the 38th International Cave Festival with performances by manor international artists planned.
