An impressive double cave (or better sinkhole) separated by an arch. When you arrive you will lower into the first hole with shorter routes, the second hole (reached by walking under the arch) has potential for long, steep and hard routes.
Take the same approach as for "Gruta de las Candelas" but continue on the road until you reach the plateau before El Realejo. Look for a faint road into the pasture on your right and follow them until you see the valley going down. Park there and hike down along the stone wall und up left the hill.
Most of the climbing in Guadalcázar is in limestone caves filled with stalactites. These caves have been forming for million years and have very delicate ecosystems. Please be respectful to the plants and animals that live in these caves. Stalactites can break and when they do it can be very dangerous for you or your partner. Wearing a helmet when climbing is recommended and being alert of your surrounds at all times.
When climbing on the stalactites, try to grab the stalactites at the strongest point. The closer to the wall you grab the stalactite the better. Climbing in these caves is a very different experience from any other type of rock and it is important to try to keep the stalactites intact as much as possible. Most of the routes in the cave have been cleaned well, but there is always the chance of a stalactite breaking. The rock in the cave is very solid and most of the time you wont break anything.
