Does anyone know if the caves at Nerja have wheelchair access? If so, do they have wheelchairs available for visitors?
Thanks.

Hi. I was there two weeks ago and I can confirm that the caves are completely unsuitable for wheelchairs. There are a lot of steps and inclines, and I feel the authorities would not permit somebody to attempt to struggle with a wheelchair due to the difficulty that would be encountered in the event of an emergency evacuation. Sorry.
Doh!
Not nerja..but beter than nothing

well, this isnt really a cave, , a rocky outcrop/overhang that would have provided these ancients with some sort of shelter from the elements, and it is a LONG climb up to it , along a winding path with steps. may be suitable but set off early. all the fully fit adults and kids were exhausted once they reached the top. and that is also after a long drive on a bumpy track.
well it all was 2 years ago, so could have improved dramatically, but i cant imagin it has changed that much, and pushing/pulling a wheelchair up and down, would require quite some strength and stamina

Thanks for all the replies.
My son had an operation earlier this Summer and I was looking or things to entertain him. I asked the, very daft really ( blame the vino) question in desperation one evening. However, once he was out of the chair, and walking, we did visit the caves. He loved them. I'm sure I would have too, if I hadn't been puffing and panting so much!
