The Cueva del Boquete de Zafarraya is located on the southern slope of the Sierra de Alhama, at about 1100 meters of altitude, in the municipality of Alcaucín (Province of Malaga, Spain).

It is a medium-sized cavity whose entrance is located on a vertical pharallón. A few meters from the entrance the cavity is forked into two ducts: The first, to the left, has a vertical development; the right duct, a true gallery, has an archaeological sedimentation filling in a length of 16.30 meters.

The cave is proposed as a "Place of Spanish geological interest of international relevance" (Global Geosite) by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain for its paleontological interest, with the name "VP009: Cueva del Boquete de Zafarraya", within the geological context "Places of vertebrates of the Spanish Pliocene-Pleistocene".
