Beatriz Flamini, a 50-year-old Spanish woman, has came out alive after she spent 500 days alone in a 230ft deep cave in Los Gauchos, near Spain.

According to report, after she participated in an experiment, which was closely watched by researchers hoping to learn more about the capabilities of the human mind and circadian rhythms, Flamini returned to civilization after 500 days in cave.

It was claimed by her support team that she set a world record for the longest time spent in a cave.

She was 48 years old when she entered the cave and spent two birthdays alone underground.

According to report, she began her challenge on Saturday, November 20, 2021, before the Ukraine war broke out and Queen Elizabeth II died.

She described her experience after exiting the cave as “excellent” and “unbeatable.”

“ I’ve been silent for a year and a half, not talking to anyone but myself, she said.

“ I lose my balance, that’s why I’m being held. If you allow me to take a shower – I haven’t touched water for a year and a half.”

Flamini spent her time underground exercising, painting and drawing, and knitting woolly hats to keep herself fit and busy.

According to her support team, she took two GoPro cameras to document her journey and consumed 60 books and 1,000 litres of water.
