The cave of Nerja is a famous archaeological site with 40,000 year old remains. But the paleolithic paintings cannot be visited. For a good description see the text by Tony Oldham below.
A recent addition to the regular tourist tours are spelunking tours. They take 7 hours and cost EUR 90 per person. Taking place between September and June, every year 200 people in groups of 10 get the chance to se the upper galleries of the cave.
