Our
History

The Hams Caves are 10 million years old, but man has only enjoyed their beauty since they were discovered by the speleologist Don Pedro Caldentey Santandreu (1886-1950) in 1905 when he was digging in search of onyx, a precious rock abundant in area. Thanks to your concern and persistence we can now visit them.
