LA LLUERA CAVE
From Las Caldas, first of all, it takes the church San Juan de Priorio. From here, a pleasant little walk (30 minutes) leads you to the edge of the river, to the shelter under rock.
The cave of Lluera was discovered in the 1970 s. It was inhabited 18 or 19 000 years ago, until 10 500 years ago on the basis of sediment dating.
At the entrance to the cave on the left, note the great burning of horse. Inside the cave, in the form of a horseshoe, the engravings are more difficult to identify for an uninformed eye, because most are intertwined and drawn on each other during different periods: the horns of some deer are used for example to make bison belly. Depending on the orientation of the light, however, it was devinera on the largest panel of biches, bison and horses. A group of 4 bison appears more clearly on the left-hand side and has a beautiful perspective.
Note that the engravings stop precisely at the maximum place where the light is worn and the cave does not contain any engraving or drawing in its darkest part.
In the Lluera 2, a second smaller cave, a little upstream on the river, we can observe geometric signs, including some triangles and, in the center, a biche.
