Today we are going to visit a well-known cave for its great animal representations, especially the spotted horses, but what about the humans?
Although this cave was known to locals, it was not until 1922 that the speleologist A. David, his sister Martha and Henri Dutertre, discovered the so-called “decorated cave.” Later, the parietal study was carried out by A. Lemozi, A. Leroi-Gourhan and M. Lorblanchet.

➡️⁉️The Carranza River is a short river that rises in Karrantza (Bizkaia) and connects with the Asón River in Ramales de la Victoria (Cantabria). The Carranza gorge is the only way out of the valley and is characterized by an abrupt karstic orography plenty of caves and shelters.
❗️📚More than twenty archaeological sites are known (27) although the archaeological information in many cases is deficient. There are 7 decorated caves, 5 in Cantabria and 2 in the Basque Country.
