Some unnamed authority prohibits taking photos of the cave. I attach images of the view outside.
The cave was packed with history and intricacy, like the Toledo Cathedral and El Palacio Real, but constructed not by artisans, but by time (millions of years), rainwater, and some elements. Some stalagmites and stalactites formed images strikingly like familiar objects. There was a donkey head figure, a dragon head, Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, a Roman helmet, and skull-like rocks.
The caves were discovered by Arabs, then used for repairing airplanes during the Spanish civil war (the era during which Pan's Labyrinth took place). Dynamite opened entrances to the cave, which destroyed a few million-year-old masterpieces. It later housed children for refuge. Now, the cave holds concerts and yoga due to its acoustics and cool temperature.
