Cueva de la Ramera

Cueva de la Ramera is a karst cave in the Serranía de Cuenca, in Beteta, with panoramic views of Hoz de Beteta. It preserves Bronze Age remains and traces of human occupation from the Neolithic to Hispano-Roman times. Visits are only from March to October because it closes during horseshoe-bat hibernation.

A cave inhabited for millennia

Cueva de la Ramera opens among limestone rocks shaped by water into unusual forms, overlooking Hoz de Beteta. It preserves Bronze Age remains and human traces from the Neolithic to Roman times.

A bat refuge

The horseshoe bat lives inside. Hoz de Beteta is one of the region’s main winter refuges for the Mediterranean horseshoe bat, so the cave closes during hibernation.
