Font Major Cave

Spain, L'Espluga de Francolí

You can’t even imagine what a holiday in Spain with a child can turn into if you allow yourself an excursion to one of the local caves. In Spain, you can find a similar excursion at almost any seaside resort, which will give both adults and children a lot of pleasure from visiting. A real adventure and unforgettable memories await you in the Font Major river cave museum, located in one of the towns of the Costa Dorada resort.

Acquaintance with the cave will allow you and your young tourist to discover the beautiful and unusual underground bowels. In the case of the Font Major cave, the journey will be doubly interesting because the local river Francolí carries its waters into its deep dark mouth, disappearing in the depths and reappearing on the surface after a certain distance.

So what is this tour? First, this is a visit to the subsoil with an experienced guide. You will descend 450 meters deep, and your guide will tell and show you many unusual and exciting things. Especially for the guests of Esplugi Cave, detailed graphics and illustrations were developed that help to learn about the formation of this underground kingdom, as well as photographs of its various types. Numerous audio and video effects complement the experience.

By the way, Font Major Cave is the source of the rarest exhibits of the local museum, which we would also recommend visiting with a child. It was in its bowels that valuable finds were made. Some are over 300,000 years old! After different years of exploring the cave, archaeologists found here both the bones of people and animals of the Paleolithic times and household items of ancient people made of bronze: axes, knives, women's hairpins, needles, swords and much more.
