If you’ve ever been suckered to the volcanic crater and ice caves (read cryogenic generator humming somewhere in the dark abyss) in eastern Arizona near its border with New Mexico, then the Parque rqueológico de Los Enebralejos will come as no big, disappointing surprise. There once was a prehistoric settlement in this park outside the small town of Pradéna. There is again, a reproduction inside a pinewood fence that looks like a cluster of giant ant beds. In the exhibition center there are a few relics discovered on the site and some diagrams (in Spanish) describing the area. You access the caves via the exhibition center. Spain has many expansive and truly beautiful caves, some of which are adorned with prehistoric art. This is not one of them. Among the stalactites to indicate that the cave served as a burial ground 2,000 years before hrist, someone has thoughtfully placed a fake skeleton. It all takes a little too much imagination. Save it for the kids.
