Tito Bustillo Cave, Prehistoric art cave in Ribadesella, Spain
Located on the northern coast of Spain, Tito Bustillo Cave extends through limestone formations containing red and black paintings of horses, deer, and reindeer.
The cave was found in 1968 by a group of local mountaineers, including Celestino Fernandez Bustillo, who discovered the section containing ancient paintings.
The cave walls display artistic compositions of animals and female forms created during the Magdalenian period, using mineral pigments such as ochre and copper oxide.
The cave opens from March through June, Wednesday to Sunday, with guided tours in Spanish requiring advance reservations and an entrance fee of 5 euros.
The cave features an uncommon prehistoric drawing of a cetacean among its animal representations, along with multiple layers of superimposed artwork dating from 22,000 BC.
