Cueva de la Hoz, Protected limestone cave in Santa María del Espino, Spain
The cave extends 156 meters through narrow corridors forming a Y-shape pattern with two entrances and contains active karst formations with stalactites and stalagmites.
In 1935, researcher Juan Cabré documented the cave's significance, identifying numerous prehistoric animal engravings including horses, bovines, deer, and goats.
The cave features multiple rock art galleries with both abstract symbols and animal figures, representing local prehistoric fauna through paintings and engravings.
The lower gallery contains a lake formed by an underground stream, making specialized equipment necessary for complete exploration of the cave system.
Located 1140 meters above sea level near Linares River, the cave maintains active gours, which are natural limestone formations created by flowing water.
