Hi I am going to be in Altamira region from 8 to 12 August 2019. I hope to see some of the caves in the area that are open to the public . Can I make bookings for El Castillo etc

We didn't book but had to wait for about 30 minutes. Its a guided tour in Spanish and group size was about 20. Of the 4 caves only 2 are view-able by the public.
