Cueva de Covalanas, Prehistoric cave art site in Ramales de la Victoria, Spain.
The entrance of Cueva de Covalanas measures 14 meters in width and 28 meters in height, leading to extensive galleries containing Paleolithic art.
Researchers L. Sierra and Hermilio Alcalde del Río discovered and documented this cave in 1903, marking the start of scientific studies of its paintings.
The cave walls display eighteen red deer hinds, one stag, one horse, and an auroch, painted using a distinctive dotted outline technique.
A 400-meter footbridge inside the cave ensures accessibility for visitors with reduced mobility while protecting the archaeological remains.
The right gallery contains a sequence of small dots located 65 meters from the entrance, followed by numerous animal representations dating to 20,000 BC.
