Cave (with v) is the proper spelling to write the noun feminine designating the more or less extensive subterranean cavity, whether natural or artificially constructed (To cover himself from the rain, the little rodent got into his cave). cave (with B.) does not exist as a word in Spanish, so it should be avoided.
Confusion about how to write this noun is common, because the B and the V have the same Spanish sound.
Cave is a common noun Y concrete that designates the underground cavity opened naturally or excavated by some animal or person (The climbers rested on a cave that was on the side of the mountain). It can also refer to a basement (The kidnappers kept the victim locked in the cave).
