Spain Tour 18: Valporquero Caves

Driving North from Leon to Orvidea, we took a series of ever-smaller side roads off, looking for the famous Valporquero Caves.

Eventually we swooped down the last hill in a long curve to the car park and visitor centre.

There are no cameras allowed in the caves, so the best way to suggest what we saw is to link to another site.
The cave complex is startling, and wonderful to walk around - every turn throws up a new and different formation. One of the outcroppings looks just as I imagine the lime-covered Dwarf King in the Koom valley caves in Thud!.
