Brat Cave: Teen Built Underground Den After A Row With His Parents 01

When a disgruntled teenager headed into his back garden six years ago with a pickax to let off steam by attacking the ground after a family quarrel, he never imagined he would end up with his own underground man cave.

Andres Canto is now 20 years old, but thanks to a fit of pique when he was 14, his underground retreat in La Romana, in Alicante, southeastern Spain, now incorporates a sitting room and a bedroom.

Canto, an actor, said he does not really understand what was going through his mind in 2015 when he headed to the garden with his grandfather's pickax, but he appreciates the result.
