It is a unique geological site in the Aragonese Pyrenees, with limestone formations dating back 30 million years. It served as a refuge for shepherds since the Middle Ages and was known as a 'witches' school' according to local legends.

It is a great choice all year round, with a constant interior temperature of 11°C. In summer it is ideal to combine with nature activities, while in winter there are fewer visitors. Avoid the middle of the day during the high season.

Access is not suitable for wheelchairs due to uneven steps and rough ground. Strollers are not allowed (we recommend a baby carrier). The main chamber (Cathedral) does have ample space.

10 minutes away: Jaca (the Citadel and Cathedral). 30 minutes away: Ordesa National Park, Astún Ski Resort, and Candanchú. We also recommend the Camino de Santiago through Villanúa with its Romanesque chapels.
