    (Translated by Google) I think it is worth coming here only if you have the opportunity to visit the sacred cave, otherwise you will be disappointed. Getting there is a challenge because the path is not signposted, you have to go through a side street and go up. Once arrived above, there is practically nothing apart from those four caves visible just from a distance because access is forbidden, the only thing that deserves the spectacular view of Barranco Hondo. We honestly do not understand how a unesco heritage site is left in these conditions. (Original) Credo che valga la pena venire qui solo se si ha la possibilità di visitare la grotta sacra, altrimenti si rimarrà delusi. Arrivarci è un’impresa perché il percorso non è segnalato, bisogna passare da una stradina laterale e salire in alto. Arrivati sopra poi non c’è praticamente niente a parte quelle quattro grotte visibili giusto da lontano perché è vietato l’accesso, l’unica cosa che merita la vista spettacolare su Barranco Hondo. Sinceramente non si capisce come un luogo patrimonio dell’unesco sia lasciato in queste condizioni.

    (Translated by Google) It's not open so you can't enjoy it, should the doors either be open or put another type of door to see it. It's also a cave, those iron gates that you can hardly breathe,... who knows what they'll be like inside. (Original) No está abierto por lo que no puedes disfrutar de ella, debería las puertas o estás abiertas o poner otro tipo de puerta para poder verlo. Además es cueva, esas puertas de hierro que a penas tiene respiración,...a saber cómo estarán por dentro.

    Toller Aussichtspunkt für gute Wanderer. Wir haben es mit 2 Kids (9 und 2) leider nicht ganz hin geschafft. Der Weg ist sehr steinig und rutschig. Aufstieg ist für Kinder sehr schwer und selbst für Erwachsende manchmal knifflig. Dadurch, dass alles zuwächst, wird es nicht einfacher. Zwischendurch viel Geröll, was den Weg sehr rutschig werden lässt. Da wir den Weg auch wieder runter mussten, sind wir irgendwann oben umgekehrt. Unten gibt es auch keine vernünftigen Parkplätze und die Straße ist sehr eng.

    Very interesting place to visit, nice hike, but if you want to visit the main cave you have to book a guided tour online, as it has been locked to preserve it, think they only do it on weekends or every other weekend.

    (Translated by Google) Incredible place of our ancients. Recommended 100%, although a little neglected by the competent staff, magical place, with engravings etc. (Original) Increíble lugar de nuestros antiguos. Recomendado 100% , aunque un poco abandonado por parte del personal competente, lugar mágico , con grabados etc.

    (Translated by Google) Disappointing. I find it hard to understand the 4/5 stars. No signage whatsoever on the road to access the site or even on the site itself (no sign indicating it). Difficult to park because no parking, just room for 2-3 vehicles in the recesses of the road. Path well marked out but no signposts at the junctions. Warning: do not enter by car on the dirt road because it is difficult or even impossible to turn around at the end (not indicated either). The site is not of major interest, the caves are closed to the public so it is impossible to appreciate the cave paintings. For a UNESCO site it is still surprising. (Original) Décevant. J'ai du mal à comprendre les 4/5 étoiles. Aucune signalisation que ce soit sur la route pour accéder au site ou même sur le site lui même (aucune pancarte l'indiquant). Difficile de se garer car pas de parking, juste de la place pour 2-3 vehicules dans les renfoncements de la route. Chemin bien tracé mais pas de panneaux indicateurs aux bifurcations. Attention: ne vous engagez pas en voiture sur le chemin de terre car difficile voir impossible de faire demi tour au bout (pas indiqué non plus). Le site ne présente pas d'intérêt majeur, les grottes sont fermées au public donc impossible d'apprécier les peintures rupestres. Pour un site de l'UNESCO c'est quand même surprenant.

    (Translated by Google) A nice walk and an interesting place - it is worth looking around at the top to the right and left because there are caves everywhere - in some you can actually see the imprints of plants and trees in the bench, the largest cave is closed on the left, but a bit further it is similar (Original) Fajny spacer i ciekawe miejsce - warto się rozejrzeć u góry w prawa i lewą stronę bo wszędzie te jaskinie - w niektórych widać faktycznie te odciśnięte rośliny i drzewa w ławie, największą jaskinia ta po lewej zamknięta ale trochę dalej już jest podobna

    Visited in 01/2023. This side of the island is quite cloudy and wet, so the trail was a bit slippery. As for finding the trail, as you enter from the roadside, then a few meters ahead, follow the stairs to the top. Everything seemed pretty straight forward from there. Enjoy!

    Interesante lugar en el que se pueden ver las cuevas vivienda. Hay que ascender unos 100 metros de altitud por el sendero "Las cuevas de Artenara" que sale del extremo del pantano.

    Je ne sais pas si c’est fermé hors saison, mais rien n’était ouvert, il n’y avait personne. Nous y étions un dimanche début décembre. La végétation (et les ronces) semble laisse entendre que ça fait un moment que personne vient par la. Se renseigner avant d’y aller (pour rien). Sinon le coin, comme le sentier reste très sympathique.

    Hike is for experienced hikers, as well as you need to have a proper gear.

    (Translated by Google) Do not enter, and what for that I think what is necessary to make a guided group appointment. spectacular setting (Original) No entre, ya qué pará ello creo qué hay qué consertar cita guiada en grupo. Paraje espectacular
