An ideal destination for holiday tourism, it boasts nine kilometres of beaches and a magnificent promenade. But the town has plenty of other attractions for lovers of culture, history and traditions.

The Museum of Popular Arts, the watchtowers and the Archaeological Park The Mediterranean islands are other must-see destinations.

This municipality, which is a hub of commercial and tourist activity, takes its name from its main town, situated on the coast. The coastal strip is also home to La Cala del Moral y Benagalbón Tower. Inland, five kilometres from Rincón de la Victoria, lies Benagalbón. The church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria stands in this village, which is home to some of the most time-honoured festivals.

Rincón de la Victoria is one of the six municipalities that make up the Sun and Avocado Route in the Axarquía region of the Costa del Sol.

Treasure Cave

Rincón de la Victoria has a unique value throughout Europe, the Treasure Cave. It is one of only three known caves of marine origin in the world.. The other two are in Asia and Central America. For all locals, visitors and tourists in Malaga it should be a must-see as history, archaeology and legend come together in the Cueva del Tesoro.

In the galleries of the Treasure Cave Remains dating from the Palaeolithic and the Bronze Age were found, as well as examples of rock art.

Initially there were 3 caves: El Higuerón, El Suizo and La Victoria. After the works, the Cueva del Suizo (Sala del Lago) and the Cueva del Higuerón were joined together in the current Sala de la Virgen. At the end of the 1970s, the most prehistoric section of this union was preserved from the tourist sector, but today it can be visited together with the Cueva de la Victoria, independently from the Cueva del Tesoro itself.

On a comfortable stroll through its cavities, you can enjoy the curious shapes that water has left behind over the millennia. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, you will find the famous treasure that is said to still remain in the cave.
