Cova del Parpalló, Archaeological cave in Gandia, Spain.
The Parpalló Cave contains more than 5,000 stone plaques featuring engravings and paintings of animals, plants, and geometric patterns from prehistoric times.
This Upper Paleolithic site provided shelter during fall and winter for regional family groups who gathered to hunt and exchange knowledge during the last ice age.
The excavated artifacts from the cave demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship of early humans through their tools made from flint and bone materials.
Tours of the cave require advance reservations and accommodate groups of 10 to 25 people, with visits lasting approximately 90 minutes.
