⁉️Chufin cave, also known as the cave of Moro Chufín, is located on a cliff above the reservoir of La Palombera, at the confluence of the rivers Lamasón and Nansa, in Cantabria. It was discovered in 1972 by Manuel de Cos Borbolla and the reservoir guard Primo González. ⚓️
➡️The rock art of this cave is made up of two main groups: the indoor paintings and the outer engravings. The group of red paintings inside the cave was discovered on 30 March 1972, and shortly afterwards Martín Almagro identified the group of rock engravings on the outside.

➡️We refer to the Cueva de la Lluera I, a small cave located a few meters from the Nalón River (Asturias, Spain) and which was scientifically discovered in 1979 and first studied by Professor Javier Fortea.
📖The artistic activity is found in outdoor areas and in twilight, concentrating on the walls of the left gallery, very close to the entrance.

⁉️This is a really small cave (with least than 30 meters of development), currently accessed through a small hole in #Ertxiña mountain.
💭It would be interesting to known how was the cave during the Upper Paleolithic. ➡️Currently, there are a lot of blocks and some speleothems.

❗️The cave is small, but it is very well placed over a narrowing of #Urola valley.
