Treasure Cave



CUEVA DEL HIGUERON

Located in Rincon de la Victoria, this cave has been known by three different names, formerly it was the "Cave of the Englishman" and later on the "Cave of the Treas ure or "Higueron Cave". It seems to have been inhabited during the Palaeolithic epoch, as per the painting and silex utensil found in the cave.

There is a legend about a certain Almoravid King who sent a treasure from Oran to this coast which was hidden in this cave, others assure that five Arabs Kings brought their treasure to the cave, but six coins is the only part of the treasure yet found.
