It was so cool to climb, slide, crouch, etc. through the caves and hear about their use by the Moorish and how they did it! The Mountain springs were so beautiful! A bit chilly, but definitely worth it! And the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly :)
Climbing through the caves was like a giant Mcdonald's playground for adults, great fun. The guide was lovely and knowledgeable. The local market had some of the best Vermouth and nougat that we tasted. Don't forget your swimmers, even if its cold!
You really don't want to miss this. It was amazing and the things that you learn from Danny are as impressive as the caves. The meal is several courses so make sure you are ready to eat. Bring an extra jacket, it's colder than Valencia.
