One of Spain's Unesco World Heritage Site cave art sites, but not open to the public. The lat/long given is for the village of LLonin.
"Queso" is Spanish for cheese- the cheese in question is the local specialty, something like Brie or Camembert.
"It is included in the list of World Heritage of UNESCO since July 2008. It was discovered in 1957 by cheese producers seeking a place to fermentarlos.La cave houses inside more than a hundred engravings and representations of animals (bison, reindeer, goats, etc.) and symbols, but is closed to the public."
