Cuevas de la Araña en Bicorp, Prehistoric cave art site in Bicorp, Spain
The Araña Caves display rock art panels containing paintings of honey gathering, hunting scenes, and detailed animal figures painted on limestone walls.
The cave paintings, discovered in 1920 by Hernández Pacheco, reveal human activities and social practices from over 10,000 years ago in eastern Spain.
The site forms part of Mediterranean Basin Rock Art, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage, representing Levantine art traditions of prehistoric communities.
Access to the caves requires advance booking through Bicorp Ecomuseum, with guided tours lasting three hours and including explanations about the paintings.
The caves contain the earliest known depiction of honey gathering in human history, showing a figure climbing ropes to collect honey from wild bees.
