Going to Benidorm? You have to visit Pla de Petracos

The second of my Benidorm adventure videos... In this one we're visiting Pla de Petracos which is an incredible array of caves featuring drawings from we don't know when painted by we don't know who because of we don't know why. So join me for a little bit of SLOW TV, travel with Geoff style videos and sit back and enjoy. Not too much editing on this one, we're just enjoying the atmosphere of the place. #spain #travel #Pladepetracos #benidorm #adventure #exploring #slowtv

We know bugger all about this realm we live in other than it isnt what they tell us it is

[@ilollipop100]

Geoff does caves.. I for one am looking forward this new travel channel.

[@martinsanders5418]

Those mountains have been pushed up, and other land has sunk. That's why you see the different rock strata going vertically and not horizontally. So the flooding could well have happened before the mountains sprang up. Fascinating stuff!!! Spain has some amazing megalithic structures too 😊

[@kathrynoflynn6513]

Geoff, You conveyed the magic beautifully, You do this So well. Your Friend was very informed. Great video

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Thank you!

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

A thoughtful reflection on how insignificant the timescales of our lives are. The geological formations created millions of years ago, the petroglyphs painted thousands of years ago, whilst at best we can hope for maybe 100 years. I remember a similar feeling looking at the 4000+ year old rock paintings in the red canyon outside of Las Vegas on holiday one year. Dry desert, oven levels of heat, but beautiful art left behind on the rocks, around the same time as the Egyptians were building pyramids. We could barely manage an hour in that heat (early August) but obviously people lived, or at least moved through, that area. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ln-cq8zu]

Have you checked out Randall Carlson? Apologies if you already have. He revived my geological interest and much much more 😊

[@Ln-cq8zu]

They might have lived there closer to the ice age, which meant temperatures were cooler at different latitudes. 😊

[@grogalot2]

Very trippy, without the mushrooms

[@jasongreen6447]

[@sib923]

Beautiful to see and hear that you found & were shown this place. As you say, when the universe is resounding spiritually to you it resounds strongly in a meaningful and significant way! A true sign. Enjoy! This was wonderful to see Geoff! Location noted for when i visit.

[@GeoffBuysCars]

there was more spirituality / universe to this day, but i'm not sure i'll share it all for the channel. needed that break :)

[@juliaogara8794]

Love the beach,though not at Benidorm, but this is way, way better. Thank you for sharing it with those of us landlocked north of Worcestershire, well north east.

[@nearlypastit2385]

Geoff, I can completely understand your awe at visiting this amazing site. Years ago, long before my dear Wife passed away (just six weeks before our 50th. wedding anniversary !) we were on holiday in Turkey (from our home in Hampshire, UK) and on a day-trip fom our hotel base visited the Cappadocia region, which has some awesome landscape features, carved out of the soft rock by the passage of water over many many years by river and flood water. Inhabitants in those subsequent far off days carved out dwellings in the soft strata, and even made chapels in the soft rock, the walls of which were often decorated with murals. On our visit the sun was shining and birds were singing their little hearts out. I am definately not a religious person, but the aura of the location we visited was indeed 'spititual', much like I expect you expetienced on your caves visit. Makes one feel so insignificant and that there has to be something more to life than ourt typical experience. Thank you for sharing your Spanish caves experience with us all, and in the process, also reminding me of those happier days in my earlier years. .

[@angelakenyon7490]

Yes, fascinating In the cave near.beginning of you filming , just when you laid down for better view of above, the circle you mentioned, there are two i think you said, one of them is actually hexigan shaped, not round. I zoomed in and its definitely at least five sided shape with a pale dot in the centre, mmmm fascinating Many questions , including why concrete placed in certain places, mmmmm Thanks Geoff for sharing this ☀️🇬🇧

[@BasketCase]

[@pilsortangle]

You’d love Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm in the Purnululu Nation Park (Bungle Bungles) in Western Australia Geoff! Get it on your bucket list!

[@moorgunandmarshes]

I think the paintings indicate the artists neighbor with an active imagination seeing a labrador walking along a hedge in the distance.

[@huffmanaviation7341]

Brilliant

[@TimK2646]

The Spirits have spooked Geoff.

[@BionicRusty]

Mate, I’m so pleased for you. I only wish that I was able to do similar. I love seeing people walk and explore. Footsteps are a precious sound to me. 🙏🫶

[@GeoffBuysCars]

thank you, more of this coming soon

[@kevinmott6205]

So Geoff the image could be a human in ceremonial dress. Think of the Native Americans USA. They like their tassels. With a spirit or literal dragon type creature emerging from the earth. Could be a spiritual representation. 😲The dragon makes me think of a Chinese ceremonial dragon 🀄 so the painting represents an important ceremony or event in itself. ❤ Excellent was it a whale? Loved the blog thanks Geoff.😊

[@alastairhinksman6436]

What an amazing place to visit looks very peaceful

[@theharshtruth1893]

They have found whale bones & sea shells on mountain tops before all over the world it is possible these caves were formed under the sea millenia ago before the mountain range formed and discovered much later by primitives who like you were awed & inspired

[@Masonic1016]

I owned a Cave House in the village of Cuevas del Campo for about 12 years, and some parts of it were over 800 years old . Cave Houses are a fantastic experience and many can be found to buy or rent around Baza, Galera, Freila, Zújar, about 300km South East of Benidorm.

[@angelagauder3984]

I'm glad I wasn't involved in hauling concrete up there! lol - great video btw.

[@storkythepunk]

Very strange, and interesting, for some reason my arms and hands started tingling during the video, not sure if that was high vibration, or overactive imagination.

[@rosiecatbandit]

It's not a matter of what you or I think, but what a geologist knows. Where you're stepping is uneven and silty as you've guessed, prob from water flow. It's entirely plausible that it's newer than the roof where it's black from fires. Is the concrete actually man-made and put there? It seems to be completely random rather than purposeful. I think the holy feeling you have is contagious. You're bonding with ancient ancestors.

[@klnine]

Geoff the Geologist ! Good stuff mate, the guys in the art is actually a depiction of birkland currents ! EU !

[@Tazz-Media]

@8.29 i see faces - just over half way up in the middle 🤩

[@Tazz-Media]

I'll throw in my 50p (inflation) & say those alcove caves look like a burial ceremonial place. With the outstretched arms of the recently passed & the bigger figure standing over them. Maybe those spikes around the body were an energy field, aura ? You said that you felt peace and an experience, my guess is that our ancestors were noting your presence. Anyway, i bet you cried, so your body felt something not able to be put into words; good for you Geoff 🥰 thank you for sharing your experience

[@vossierebel]

Mmmm... what I was wondering... and then I heard an aeroplane going over... did you see many trails in the sky when looking up... no, not while you were in the cave... outside! A cave... that's all it is Geoff... an old cave, natural causes... and then man arrived and did a bit of art... and sheltered there during storms and cold. Mind you, I won't mind living there - but alas... the tourists would drive me mad!

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

Mudfossil University YT . Rodger will know what it is

[@amandareynolds6311]

Wow very spiritual Jim thinks possibly an animal got mummified in there maybe

[@Dex60]

Geoff. You mention the concrete has "a flow" to it. Is it possible it has ben poured down a vent hole from above the cave? Maybe to prevent people being injured or falling into said vent holes? Be interesting to explore the land above the cave to see any signs there.

[@klnine]

Geoff , carbonates like James Bond island ! No horizontal strata in carbs. The vertical stuff is due to water !

[@VanessaSetford-Smith]

Caves can range widely in size, and are formed by various geological processes. These may involve a combination of chemical processes, erosion by water, tectonic forces, microorganisms, pressure, and atmospheric influences.

[@phibin777]

lava tunnel? some times you get lava tunnels where the flow melted rock then sort of ran to a trickle and leaves big cavities? very interesting place though! and that painting looked like an alien and a human !! lol

[@GeoffBuysCars]

i like that, ancient vandals!

[@bentullett6068]

Fascinating video Geoff. I am guessing these were lava tunnels

[@klnine]

Carbonates like J Bond island dude !

So many lies have been told to us……… 🧠💪💚🤝 sending good thoughts 🙋‍♂️.🙏

[@SierraNovemberKilo]

What if it is an ancient MRI machine or some other emf creating structure. That would explain the raised hair on the glyphs. The black on the ceiling is like the black you get on certain fire/lights - one side gets 'cleaned' the other side gets a black deposit.

[@colinbradford177]

Very spiritual , next you will telling Lee his milk float is worth every penny his lost.😂

[@Elsie-uy2kl]

Now that is a place to get away from it all. How did someone get a concrete mixer up there? 😆

[@user-kz6jt4xz6h]

Some comments are being removed

[@fourbees5493]

The theory is that the vertical strata was once horizontal when it was below sea level, and volcanic activity and movements in the earth's crust forced it upwards to it's present position.

[@user-hd4vn4kf4n]

Yes, folded

[@fourbees5493]

Exactly, there is probably evidence in that cave such as shells or flints which existed when it was under the sea. Flints are the petrified remains of sponges.@@user-hd4vn4kf4n

[@LindsayJaneReid]

I wonder if it’s a fossil of a dinosaur rib cage and the different floor is it’s lungs

[@billytollerton4220]

Also check out Roger at mudflow university.

[@user-hd4vn4kf4n]

At a guess, burial caves where the rocks and earth reach for the sky. Drawings of the spirits leaving. Loved ones left behind sing them on their way. Ask the locals about the new cement. May be some remains still in behind there.

[@wormwood6424]

🍄🍄🍄🐇🐇😁😁

[@steveinstamford]

Good shrums then Geoff.😂

[@hermandejong4309]

There was a fossil of a bivalve shell (st Jacob's) just at your first take of the concrete. This proves it is not quarts but lime.

[@iainnorquay5371]

Is that Absynthe from that supermarket in Nerja?

It’s not a monster coming out of the mountain. It’s a foretelling of the EVangelists getting angry because it’s given them a slight shock, and the charger won’t connect to the car!!

Like I’ve said before put out a 10 minute video but also put out an hour long one as a lot of us love it. I saw your Father Ted joke the other day so we love your show. If you think people don’t watch because of your car put in some funny or silly props. Let the kids decorate a background for you lol it would be awesome

'Wise up', Archaix and Martin Liedtke are some good ones too.

[@phenogen8125]

The figures shown are like petroglyphs of 'squatter man" (aerial plasma discharge manifestations) that relate to cosmic events such as very intense solar storms and particularly to cyclic micro-novae of our Sun. That would date them back 60 or 120,000 years and survivors would be scant and survived mostly in elevated caves away from the extreme x-ray and proton streams and massive flooding mudslide and tsunami events, volcanic and earthquake activity. Those events could invoke massive land movement as well as impose a huge electromagnetic imprint ("vibes?") on the landscape. many plasma blasts would evolve from ground skyward and explain blasting out ejecta. The concrete may be for safety reasons but may also be to hide or protect some illustrations from vandalism. Magnetic Reversal News may be best quick source of info and links etc. to get up to speed on the subject; look at the petraglyphs playlists.

[@johnlladron735]

Good video, great vibes there. Caves created by volcanic activity and springs, opened out by humans (tool marks on entrance walls). Big scary hairy person was probably a cave hermit. Nice place to live, just do due diligence regarding taxes, rights etc because Spain is as on board with net zero as every other suicidal developed country. The nice scenery can mask the reality of living there.

I can't add anything about the cave - but you wouldn't want to have a fire in a cave that faces down, unless there was another higher exit to act like a chimney - it would just fill with smoke and fumes!
