Cueva de Tesoro
Teresa O´shea reports
This marine cave at Rincon de
la Victoria, with a main gallery of 500 metres, is believed
to have started life as a prehistoric sanctuary of the Moon Goddess
Noctiluca, Goddess of fertility, life, death and hunting. Cave drawings
of animals and ceramics from the Neolithic period have been discovered
there.
Tesoro means treasure in Spanish, and legend has
it that in the 7th century a certain Emperor Tasulin Ibn hid his
fortune within the cave's salty walls. Since then countless treasure
hunters have tried in vain to discover the booty.
The cave is found at Urbanización El Cantal,
just off the N-340 between La Cala and Rincon de la Victoria. From
La Cala or Rincon de la Victoria take the local green bus.
