The Caves of Ojén

Ver galería

Water in Ojén, as throughout the Sierra de las Nieves World Biosphere Reserve, has been and remains the primary force shaping its landscapes. Over millions of years, it has patiently carried away the calcium carbonate that formed the travertine rocks, into which humans have partially carved what we know as the Cuevas Altas and Cuevas Bajas. Originally, these caves were used both to provide shelter for families from Ojén and to house livestock.

Today, they form part of Ojén’s cultural heritage, having been transformed into cultural venues: the Cuevas Altas, a one-of-a-kind viewpoint overlooking Homer’s “wine-colored sea,” and the Cuevas Bajas, a musical venue that hosts various concerts and cultural activities
