El Mirón Cave, Archaeological cave in Ramales de la Victoria, Spain.
The limestone cave extends deep into the mountainside of the upper Asón River valley, containing multiple chambers with prehistoric art and artifacts.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1996 revealed continuous human occupation from the Mousterian period through the Upper Paleolithic to modern times.
The discovery of a female skeleton from 18,700 years ago, covered in red ochre pigment, indicates specific burial practices of Magdalenian communities.
Researchers and students from the University of Cantabria conduct regular field studies at the site between June and September each year.
The cave walls display numerous engravings of animals, including a horse figure etched into a large limestone block near the burial chamber.
