Caves

The Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria Cultural Landscape is dotted with ancestral human occupation spots, each one unique, but with a common denominator of living in natural and particularly artificial caves. By means of an exceptional tradition in the use of these caves for many of the functions of existence, from life to eternal rest, former villagers and current inhabitants have adapted to the landscape’s vibrant volcanic geology, featuring crags, ravines and scarps. A sustainable way of life, with a direct line to space.
