Cuevas del Águila, Limestone cave in Ramacastañas, Spain.
The cave system extends through crystalline limestone formations shaped by erosion, creating extensive caverns above the Arenal and Avellaneda rivers.
Five local residents discovered the cave system on December 24, 1963, after noticing steam rising from a small opening in Cerro de Romperropas.
The cave formations display various mineral compositions, resulting in red, orange, brown, white, and green colors throughout the underground chambers.
The cave maintains a year-round temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with guided tours covering 1,000 meters of paved pathways in approximately 30 minutes.
Scientists study the cave's stalagmites to analyze climate changes, including data about glacial periods in the nearby Gredos Mountains from 26,000 years ago.
