Whoa, those stalactites and stalagmites at Coves de Can Riera look incredible! I’m planning to visit Catalonia next spring and this just jumped to the top of my list. Has anyone tried going during the “golden hour” right before sunset? I’m a photography enthusiast and those natural light openings sound like they’d create some magical shots. Also curious about the historical significance – did any of you hear specific stories about who used these caves as hideouts? And how difficult is the uphill hike really? I’ve got a slightly dodgy knee but am determined to make it work (learned my lesson about proper hiking boots after a disastrous cave experience in Thailand last year!). Would love to know if anyone’s spotted any bats during their visit too – I’m a bit of a wildlife nerd and would bring my binoculars if there’s a good chance of seeing them!
