About Spain Cave Explorer

We are dedicated to helping travellers discover and appreciate the extraordinary underground landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula, one cave at a time.

Our Story

Spain Cave Explorer was founded with a simple goal: to create a reliable, well-researched resource for anyone interested in visiting Spain's remarkable caves and grottos. Too often, we found that existing travel guides offered only surface-level descriptions, while scientific publications were inaccessible to the general reader.

We set out to bridge that gap by combining practical visitor information with genuine geological and historical context. Every guide on this site is based on thorough research, drawing on academic sources, official cave management reports, and firsthand visits. Our aim is to give you the knowledge you need to not only visit these places, but to truly understand and appreciate what you are seeing.

Whether you are a seasoned speleologist planning your next expedition or a family looking for a memorable day trip during a holiday in Spain, we hope you find our guides useful, accurate, and engaging.

What We Believe In

I

Accuracy First

Every fact, figure, and recommendation on this site is verified against official sources and updated regularly. We do not publish information we cannot confirm.

II

Responsible Tourism

Caves are fragile environments that can take thousands of years to recover from damage. We promote respectful visiting practices and support conservation initiatives.

III

Accessible Knowledge

You should not need a degree in geology to appreciate a stalactite. We translate complex science into clear, engaging writing that anyone can enjoy.

Our Approach

Each cave guide on this site follows a consistent structure designed to give you everything you need in one place. We cover the geological formation and history of the cave, describe what you will see on the visitor route, and provide up-to-date practical information including opening hours, ticket details, and accessibility notes.

We also believe in honest reporting. If a cave is overcrowded in summer, we will tell you. If certain formations have been damaged by tourism, we will mention it. Our goal is to set accurate expectations so that your visit is as enjoyable and meaningful as possible.

We regularly consult authoritative external sources, including:
