interaction with the caves in Busot.
Hundreds of thousands of years passed and the cavity and its speleothems gradually got bigger
and bigger until it reached its current dimension. It is believed to have been discovered in the 10th
century by the Arabs while they
were looking for suitable mining
locations. However the first mention
of the cave in written documents
didn’t occur until the late 19th
century when the speleothems were
observed and described. Later, in
the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939),
a 45m direct access tunnel was
created which allowed the cave
to be used as a storage unit, an
aeroplane motor-repair workshop
and an ammunition store. After the
war the cave was abandoned and it
wasn’t until the 40’s that it was then used for speleological excursions and music concerts. In the
60’s lighting and sound systems were installed and then it was taken over by the Busot town hall in
the 80’s and adapted for tourism, later becoming one of the most visited caves in the Comunidad
Valenciana with over 60.000 visitors a year.
