Itinerary

  1. We start our journey from the centre of Alicante in a comfortable car. During a short 20 to 30 minute drive you will enjoy beautiful views of the mountains. The highlight of our trip is a guided tour of the Canelobre Cave which is over 100,000 years old. To access it we go through a tunnel of about 45 metres. Together with a guide in English and Spanish, we will travel back in time. We will discover how water and rock have given rise to impressive shapes such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns and jellyfish, among many others. We will learn where the name of the cave comes from and what the word 'canelobre' means. After the tour, you can visit a stone crafts shop to choose some gifts for yourself or your family.
