Cave with rock art in Cantabria. Discovered by H.Obermaier and P. Wernet while excavating in the nearby Castillo Cave, in 1911. A cavity more then 400 meters long split into in four galleries, containing 300 figures of animals, also 300 other signs and non-figurative rock art.

Note: Dating evidence from this cave and two others in the region suggests Neanderthals - not modern humans - were the first artists. More details in the comments on our page
