Cueva de Bolomor, Archaeological site in Tavernes de la Valldigna, Spain.

The cave measures 35 meters in length, 17 meters in width, and extends 20 meters deep into the mountain with an irregular interior structure.

Archaeological excavations since 1989 have revealed four Neanderthal remains, including a fibula fragment, two teeth, and a complete parietal bone from an adult.

The cave contains fifteen hearths dating from 250,000 to 100,000 years ago, demonstrating early human mastery of fire through stone-lined fire pits.

Located 100 meters above sea level, the site provides direct views toward the Mediterranean coast and the town of Cullera in Valencia.

Analysis of food remains indicates that the cave inhabitants regularly hunted and consumed young elephants, alongside rabbits, tortoises, and various birds.
