Cave of les Pedroses

Nature · Ribadesella, Oriente, Asturias

Image of Ribadesella, not of the place itself.

A small cavity next to the village of El Carmen, in Ribadesella, which holds engravings of three headless animals, a complete finely drawn horse and the remains of two or three more figures, as well as a site of the Asturian culture. It was discovered in 1956 by Francisco Jordá, and its depictions were made in three distinct stages; it also includes an ideomorph of the type known as “eared”. Its figures of headless animals make this sanctuary one of the most singular of Franco-Cantabrian art.
