Cueva de Tesoro


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.
