About Coves de l’Espluga Prehistoric Cave Tour
What it is, who it suits and the practical detail needed to plan it.
Travel inland from the Costa Daurada to explore the Coves de l’Espluga de Francolí, a remarkable prehistoric cave complex beneath the town of L'Espluga de Francolí. The small-group excursion includes pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Salou, Cambrils or La Pineda and around 45 minutes of travel each way. Inside the caves, a guided visit lasting approximately 1 hour 15 minutes explores thousands of years of human occupation, from the Palaeolithic through to the Iberian period. The cave complex is also home to a significant Palaeolithic sanctuary dating back around 37,000 years, where more than 300 engravings have been discovered, although the fragile engraved gallery itself is not open to visitors. Audio guides are available in several languages before the group returns to the Costa Daurada.

- Accessibility
- The official cave visitor route is accessible to wheelchair users and children in pushchairs. However, the Salou Safari excursion booking page describes the complete transport package as unsuitable for people with mobility impairments. This may relate to entering the SUV or minivan rather than the cave itself.
