Despite being millions of years old, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Andalucia was only discovered half a century ago.
The caves were not discovered by an intrepid experienced explorer but five local children who were in the area playing and looking for bats, according to Typically Spanish.
Visitors to Cuevas de Nerja will reportedly find that the plaza outside the entrance to the grotto is named after the children - Francisco Navas Montesinos, Jose Torres Cardenas, Miguel Munoz Zorrilla, Jose Luis Barbero de Miguel, and Manuel Munoz Zorrilla.
It is claimed that over the course of the year a number of events are being planned to mark the occasion when prehistoric caves that feature Palaeolithic wall paintings millions of years old were found by a bunch of children.
Holiday makers renting a villa will find a wealth of other attractions and areas of stunning natural beauty in Nerja.
