Cueva de las Mestas, Prehistoric cave with rock art in Les Regueres, Spain.
The cave opens with two entrances on a limestone spur along the right bank of the Nora River, near its confluence with the Nalon River.
Eduardo Hernandez-Pacheco first documented the cave in 1919, attributing its discovery to the Count of Vega del Sella who found Paleolithic remains.
The cave contains deep-etched animal silhouettes and geometric patterns on its walls and ceiling, representing early human artistic expression.
Located near Taoces village, the cave requires advance arrangements for visits due to its archaeological importance and protected status.
The cave features specific engravings interpreted as a horse figure facing right, with distinct body parts carved into natural rock formations.
