This impressive natural treasure, also known as Cueva de Candelaria, reveals a fascinating history that goes back centuries. In the 17th century, the cave served as a refuge for local fishermen during pirate attacks, allowing them to escape their pursuers thanks to its two entrances—a feature that confused the pirates and saved many lives. Today, around 20 houses in the cave are inhabited, either by fishermen or islanders.
Expecting a very dark place at night, I knew we had to arrive while there was still daylight to scout compositions. Additionally, the road leading there is one of the steepest I've ever driven; only cars with sufficient horsepower can make it back up. We parked during sunset, but we weren’t there yet. We still had to scramble about 300 meters along a fairly steep, rocky path to reach the cave. After sunset, we were left alone in the cave with some rowdy cats and strange-sounding birds, making the experience even more thrilling.
