Asturias
The age-old human presence in Asturias can be seen in the great number of caves replete with paintings and etchings that have endured up to the present time.

- Tito Bustillo Cave
Made up of three galleries with impressive calcareous formations. Its fame is due to the Wall of Paintings, decorated with beautiful animal figures some 13,000 years ago during the Magdalenian period. The paintings take on greater volume due to the undulations of the rock.
Place: Ribadesella

- El Pindal Cave
Also belongs to the upper Palaeolithic period of the Magdalenian age. The cave is found in a crag of rock, on a sea-facing cliff and contains several animal paintings.
Place: Pimiango, near Llanes
