World Caves Day and underground World Day
JUNE 6
Opening anniversary of Mendukilo
JUNE 22
Very special day for Mendukilo as we celebrate the opening to the public of one of the hidden treasures in the Sierra de Aralar. Every year we do different activities to allow a special visit in this magical and mysterious environment.
This year 2018 we have honored Mr. Isaac Santesteban, for his dedication to the Speleological world and love for the underground world without forgetting that he was the first person to register his entrance to the cave of “Mentroquillo”. And the little ones from home through a game of clues have been able to know the daily life and activity of our ancestors, discovering the environment and the heart of the cave as real prehistoric.
Some days of the month of December, Olentzero will visit Mendukilo for the delight of the little ones of the house. The families accompanied by some witches, will know the history of this charcoal, enjoy their company giving their cards and telling their desires and end up with a small lunch and the realization of a craft to take home.
A unique environment, full of magic and mystery to be able to know the last of the Jentiles.
