Just as a side note: photography is forbidden in the cave. Unlike others, I also adhered to it.

A short route, 8 km. Very easy, it follows marked and accessible paths. You must pass through two gates closed for animal crossings, which must be re-closed. Part of the route passes by a stream and waterfalls. The other part follows a fairly wide path with trees on either side and therefore receives a lot of sun. I don't think it's a good option in summer. In short, a beautiful route and a beautiful town.

The great extension of its lakes, the abundance and variety of formations, and the length of its development make this underground complex a complex of great beauty and showiness. This spring of inexhaustible beauty, forged by time on nature itself with the help of elements as simple as water and stone, offers an exceptional set of galleries, halls, lakes and underground courses.

The mosque is built on a hill overlooking the town of Almonaster la Real. It is integrated into a complex that includes, in addition to the oratory, an old Muslim fortress attached to a bullring. It is a trapezoidal construction, with an ablution courtyard or sahn and a prayer room or haram. The prayer room consists of five naves of unequal width, with arcades that run transverse to the qibla. The fabric of the building is made of brick, granite blocks and masonry. Carry materials were used for its construction, such as funerary altars, Roman columns and capitals, as well as Visigothic fragments. It is a fascinating historical and architectural place that is worth a visit to appreciate its rich history and unique beauty.

The name of Los Marines has a curious history: during a visit by King Felipe II to the municipality, an inhabitant asked him why, being so powerful, he did not bring the sea to the town. The king's response was: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors." Since then, all the young people of the town performed their military service in Marina Huelva. This picturesque municipality, surrounded by nature and beauty, is an ideal place to explore during a getaway to the Sierra de Huelva. Don't hesitate to visit Los Marines and enjoy its charm.

It is very interesting to see the cavalcade of kings on the night of the fifth of January, the second oldest in Spain and the pride of the people of Figueres, who work hard all year to make a night of excitement
