Cueva de los Letreros
Cueva de los Letreros submitted by thelaoiscyclist : Cave Art (Vote or comment on this photo)
This cave is one of the most important painted shelters in the south of Spain, discovered in 1861, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It contains representations of what is known as Levantine-style rock art, with highly stylised animal figures (goats, deer, etc.) as well as men and women, usually with bowed arms and legs, dating to around 5,000 BC. The cave can be visited in June, July and August with a guide.

Visits are arranged in advance from the information/visitor Centre in Velez Blanco, opening times vary.

A guide then gives a talk on site (usually in the evenings at 7 p.m.) about the Art and archaeology of the area.
