The Caves of Drach are a cave attraction in Spain, and they make an unusual visit for anyone curious about what lies beneath the ground. The caves are made up of four interconnected chambers, so the route moves from one space to the next, each one shaped by its own formations.
What to see inside
- Stalactites and stalagmites, the rock formations that hang from the ceilings and rise from the floors, fill the chambers.
- An underground lake, which is the centrepiece of the caves.
- Classical concerts, which are performed beside the lake, giving the visit a distinctive atmosphere.
The combination of the chambers and the lake is what sets the caves apart. Many visitors come for the formations, and the concert setting adds a second reason to go, since the music is played in the middle of the underground space rather than in a concert hall.
Planning a visit
The caves suit anyone interested in geology, in unusual places to hear music, or simply in an underground walk. Because the chambers are linked, the visit follows a single path through the site. Check ahead for details of the concerts, as they are a feature of the caves and may affect how you plan your day.
The caves are located in Spain, so a trip there can be combined with time spent exploring the wider area around them.
