Grutas de Cristal, Natural monument cave in Molinos, Spain
The Grutas de Cristal features two main chambers, the Crystal Room and Marine Room, connected by passages displaying limestone formations and coral structures.
Speleologists from Barcelona's Puigmal Ski Club discovered the caves in April 1961, leading to their protection status as a Natural Monument in 2006.
The underground chambers host the annual Music and Word Festival, where classical concerts and poetry readings take place among the mineral formations.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 12°C throughout the year, with guided tours running twice daily from 10:30 to 12:30 and 16:30 to 18:30.
The Crystal Room contains eccentric stalactites that grow in different directions, defying gravity and creating intricate mineral patterns.
