Montejaque, in this is my town

Recommendations (made by me)
I recommend you visit the laundry room of the old fountain, as you can see the objects with which you formerly washed your clothes. I also advise you to visit the cave of Hundidero as it is a spectacular cave that is in a prodigious situation, since it is under the prey of the knights who in its time came to be the largest circular dam in Europe. This prey has a drawback and is that it can not retain water because the soil filters the water and ends up leaving the Cat Cave in Benaojan. The cave of the Hundidero is connected with the Cave of the Cat, but can only be this route with the necessary material and with a permission of the Natural Park Sierra de Grazalema.
