Cueva de las Ventanas, Show cave and prehistoric site in Píñar, Spain
Cueva de las Ventanas is a cave system with multiple chambers located in Píñar at about 1000 meters in elevation, featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and other mineral formations. The chambers vary in size and geological character throughout the site.
Humans used and inhabited this cave from the Paleolithic period through the Middle Ages, as revealed by archaeological excavations. Discoveries of tools, cave paintings, and pottery document this long human presence.
The name comes from window-like openings in the rock face that allow light to filter into the inner chambers. These natural gaps create a special connection between the underground world and the landscape outside.
Visits are organized through guided tours lasting about 55 minutes departing from an interpretation center at the entrance. The cave maintains a year-round temperature of about 13 degrees Celsius, so light but warm clothing is advisable.
The entire cave system has been fully designed for accessibility, allowing visitors with reduced mobility to reach all areas of the tourist route. This commitment to access makes it an unusual example of how such sites can welcome all visitors.
