We visited Las Monedas and El castillo. You need 15 min to walk between both. We finished late our tour in el Castillo so is good to leave 30 min between both. Inside is quite slippery. Most of the visit is about geology, our guide was very nice but tours are only on Spanish. Last few min we saw some prehistoric paints.

Two caves, Las Monedas and el Castillo are 600m apart, they share a carpark and ticket office. Both excellent with cave art and beautiful geology. Guided tours, 12 visitors at a time. Guides speak some English. Note lots of stairs and slippy uneven surfaces, not for those with limited mobility.
Tickets can be bought in advance via website IF it works. We bought on the day no problem but might be an issue high season

Of great natural, historical and cultural value! A must see while it can be visited. Our have guide Oscar has very good knowledge, as all the other guides (mentioned in the reviews). If you want to know more guides will give as much insight as time allows. Geological formations are impressive. Its priceless to be able to see the paintings so close and most important authentic. note this isn't wheel chair accessible or if you have any injuries when walking. Older kids will find it very interesting. It's amazing how some people still thinks it's fun to take pictures of the paintings, seems they don't consider some of them are 35,000 years old a(El Castillo) don't realize that just by visiting the environment is deteriorated; please be considered and respectfull, no videos, no photos allowed. Definitely worth visiting. (We did the visit in Spanish, better to enquire about English visits)

Very cool, would even be more interesting if they would provide English tours as well.

Less drawings then Castillo but more enjoyable visit thanks to the guide, geological info etc. The few paintings are also better since more recent. 12000 years ago!

It couldn't be better. The guides explain everything and are open to answered all your doubts. Groups are reduced, which makes the visit even better.

Cueva de gran valor geológico y arqueológico. Se ven las estalactitas y estalagmitas de muy cerca. Pinturas rupestres realistas por aprovechar el relieve natural de la roca. Sin embargo, hay que tener mucho cuidado al visitarla porque el suelo es muy resbaladizo.
