Image of Baleira, not of the place itself.

Rock shelter with evidence of prehistoric occupation which in the last century came to serve as a dwelling for a blacksmith. In 2017 schematic paintings in red with zigzags, angles and anthropomorphic figures were identified on its walls, the first group of this kind documented in Galicia; its cataloguing and dating were carried out by the heritage staff of the Xunta, and the occupation of the shelter runs from the fourth to the second millennium BC.
