Rinc\u00f3n de la Victoria is a quarter of an hour\u2019s drive from M\u00e1laga<\/strong> and it has something that no one else on the continent has.<\/p>\n

The Cueva del Tesoro is the only cave of marine origin in Europe that is open to the public<\/strong>, and there\u2019s a way to get in for free.<\/p>\n\n

The Cave of the Treasure: one of only three in the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

21 Avenida de Picasso, in the El Cantal area. 4.6 out of 9,233 reviews<\/strong>, the highest valuation in the municipality.<\/p>\n

And this exclusivity is genuine, not just for publicity\u2019s sake:<\/strong> only the following are known three marine caves in the world<\/strong>. The other two are in Asia and Central America<\/strong>. This is the only one open to the public in Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Their galleries were carved out by the waves and currents<\/strong>, not the dripping of fresh water as in normal caves. Hence the strange shapes.<\/p>\n\n

The detail that saves the ticket price<\/h3>\n

Admission is around 6 euros, but if you book in advance on the official website, the visit is free.<\/strong> This is the best piece of advice on this page.<\/p>\n

Timetable:<\/strong> Every day, from 10.30 am to 2.00 pm and from 4.30 pm to 8.00 pm.<\/p>\n

It is closed on 24, 25 and 31 December and on 1 and 6 January.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The story of the man who searched for treasure for thirty years<\/h3>\n

Legend has it that the treasure of five Almoravid kings was hidden here<\/strong>, and is recorded in 17th-century writings by Fray Antonio Agust\u00edn de Milla y Suazo.<\/p>\n

And there were those who took it seriously:<\/strong> Antonio de la Nari<\/strong> explored it in the first half of the 19th century and He spent thirty years searching for the treasure, until he died<\/strong> without finding it.<\/p>\n

One of the rooms is named after him: the Pozo del Suizo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the cave actually has a different name: Higuer\u00f3n Cave<\/strong>. The bit about \u00abthe Treasury\u00bb is just what everyone calls it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
