Las Cuevas del Rodeo – ROJALES – Rojales Caves Vega Baja,Here lies the village of Rojales. It has a large cave area and over the last few years it has been occupied by an artisan colony with about 20 open as workshops and studios.
The local Ayuntamiento has promoted it in the past but, in the true Spanish way, it has curtailed a number of cultural events, particularly open-air concerts… probably because they were getting too popular!
A Swedish Artist told me the caves were originally dug by coal miners from Murcia and later occupied by Gypsies and latterly the artisans… there are many caves simply locked and forgotten…she told me she adopted hers and after spending months recovering it, the owner ‘came out of the woodwork’ and she now pays him rent!
This is definitely a good morning out and only about 20 minutes from SMdS + it gives you some idea what we could have here in our pueblo. There’s a nice little bar there too!
