Cueva de Las Ventanas

The Cueva de Las Ventanas (The Cave of the Windows) is in the foothills of Sierra Araña mountains in the town of Piñarat 1,000 m above sea-level. It is also known as the Cueva de la Ventanilla (Cave of the little window) or Cueva de la Campana (Cave of the Bell). The temperature inside is stable all year round, at around 13º and the relative humidity is 100%.

The Cueva de las Ventanas Cave has the status of Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) and Natural monument of Andalusia. A large part of it is adapted to “without barriers”.

Inside the cave, carved by the water over thousands of years, is an interactive interpretation centre on the cave's formation process since its beginnings, as well as its human occupation. It uses models, interactive panels and natural examples throughout the cave.

You can see from a hyenas' den to a Neolithic burial and a scene of a grain mill, passing through different reproductions of the prehistoric habitat. The visit is accompanied by a guide.

In the basement of the Town Hall is a small intepretation centre presenting the values of the Cueva de Las Ventanas Cave. Every hour a tourist train leaves from the visitor centre, taking people to the cave.
