Nearly all the caves in the Murcia Region are formed by limestone or dolomite, which results in the large number of cavities catalogued.

The longest-stretching cave is the Cueva del Puerto, in Calasparra, in which some 5 kilometres have been mapped.

Some of the caverns are open for guided tours; the rest can be explored by groups of cavers accompanied by guides.

Caves Guides are available

Caves Murcia

El Cabezo Gordo has been declared a Protected Landscape since 1998.

It is also a Wildlife Protection Area due to its great biotic, landscape, paleontological and cultural interest.

This mountain of 312 meters of altitude is not of volcanic origin, like the other elevations of the Mar Menor, the rocks that form the Cabezo Gordo are of limestone origin, although others of metamorphic type are present such as the well-known marble “Piedra del Cabezo” .

In 1991 the paleoanthropological site “SIMA DE LAS PALOMAS” was discovered, where remains of animal bones, lithic industry, human bones and teeth of individuals (adults, children and babies) of the extinct species of the European fossil man named Neanderthal man, who lived here about 50,000 years ago.

Cave of Water, former mine exploited at the end of the XIX century beginning of the XX. In its interior there is a lake of fresh water, which is reached through a corridor in which it is necessary to use a flashlight and appropriate and comfortable clothing. It is also habitat of 5 different species of bats.

Rooms

It has many beautiful rooms such as the Zona del Laberinto, Gran Diaclasa, Gran Bloque and Sala de los Claustros.

Formations such as colourful stalagmites and flowstones stand out. But the truly surprising parts are the shapes with large holes sculpted by water. The visit is suitable for everyone.

Caving is also possible, with a perfect route for people who love extreme experiences. The route is covered in small groups and reaches the deepest part of the cave: Gran Diaclasa, 114 metres deep
