Just came outside to witness what must be 50 vultures. Amazing to watch and some coming in really low. Come and stay with us for a chance to witness a fabulous display like this right outside the front door. More in comments

So we came up with our name because when we moved here we soon realised we shared our home with these darling little creatures as they lived under the eaves and came out every night to catch the moths under our canopy. We keep the light on all night so plenty of moths come for them to munch. So 2 days ago our biggest one Galileo came out for the first time after Brumation and clearly came into contact with 1 of our cats. Fortunately his ability to shed his tail obviously saved him but he was very vulnerable and on the floor. I think he had come down to the ground for the animals water as normally they stay high up on the walls and are safe from them. Anyway barely moving I scooped him up and made him a little home on a heat pad and this morning he is much more active so hopefully he will be on his way soon once he’s eaten some of the moths I’m catching for him. We couldn’t call ourselves Cave of the Geckos 🦎 and not help them when they need it. By the size of them they have been living here much longer than us ❤️💙💚

So I am posting this today as the Spanish are still celebrating Christmas with the arrival of the 3 Kings bringing the presents to the children. Many of the villages and towns will have parades of the kings and will distribute presents to the children. Also a tradition is the creation of the Belén and here is this years one created by the residents of Puente Arriba. As you can see at the start of the video they are previous winners of the Belén competition that the local villages and hamlets enter.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Puente Arriba

There are very many opportunities to see Flamenco in this region. It's performed at most festivals but there are also Flamenco clubs too in some of the towns locally. Just one of the many reasons to enjoy a stay at our cave house and explore the region!

Between the walls. Our good friend Ivan and I exploring

The following pictures are all of the exact same mountain Jabalcon which can be seen from Puente Arriba. I took the 1st one on 30th September and the last one on 30th October and all pictures were taken between 8am and 9am. I took them to show how the landscape and views here are constantly changing to the point where the mountain completely disappears on one of the days due to low cloud. I want to confirm that no filters or any other sort of jiggery-pokery have been used (I don't have the skills) what you see is just what my phone took. So if you want to experience a constantly changing vista come and join us here. Don't forget we still have our opening offers which you can't afford to miss. Also please share and help spread Cueva de los Gecos 😉

Please take a moment and help spread our word thank you

Didn’t expect to find all this behind a small piece of wall when knocking out a windowsill to make the new shower room 😮

Loved this fabulous antique door to the cave before the refurb but love it even more. Especially the 50 flower shaped studs that had to be individually hand painted whilst on the door. A labour of love ❤️

Tonight’s view as the sun is setting outside our front door ❤️

The last weekend of April Benamaurel hosts The famous Christians and Moors festival!
Thousands attend from all over Spain and beyond! The 3 day event is also enjoyed in 2 other local villages, Cullar and Zujar.
So the end of April would be a great time to visit the area and soak up some of the local culture and history.

Sueña con viajar a una época pasada, cuando en la Península Ibérica la cultura dominante era la andalusí, ver sus vestimentas, oír su música o vivi...
