Cave of Enebralejos, Prehistoric cave system in Prádena de la Sierra, Spain
The Cave of Enebralejos is a cave system in Prádena de la Sierra with large underground chambers and colorful limestone formations. The rooms contain stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and other natural structures spread across multiple levels.
The cave system was discovered in 1932 and holds traces of human habitation from the Copper Age. Early inhabitants left paintings and carvings on the walls that document their presence.
The cave's name references plants that once grew in this region. Different chambers show how ancient people adapted the underground space for various purposes, with some areas bearing names tied to those early activities.
Visitors should expect a guided walk through the main areas of the system that involves several stairs and uneven surfaces. Sturdy shoes are recommended since the ground can be slippery and the lighting is artificial.
Inside the cave sits an archaeological park featuring a reconstructed prehistoric settlement where visitors can learn how ancient people made their everyday tools. This recreation shows the practical methods and materials used in early toolmaking.
