Important: Temporary Closure
Following severe flooding and storm damage during the winter of 2026, access to both Cueva del Gato and Cueva del Hundidero, including the walking routes and the Vía Ferrata Presa de los Caballeros, is currently prohibited. There is no confirmed reopening date but I will update this page as soon as there is any news.
The Hundidero and Cueva del Gato cave entrances are an intriguing geological wonder close to Ronda and well worth visiting if you are in the area. The cave system stretches for around 4 kilometres underground between two remarkable entrances and is home to a large colony of bats, prehistoric cave paintings and an impressive network of subterranean passages used by experienced cavers.
The cave system itself is not open to the general public, but you can visit both entrances. Under normal conditions, Cueva del Gato is the easiest to reach, with a nearby car park and a short walk of around 500 metres to the cave entrance. The Hundidero entrance requires a considerably longer walk.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
