Shelter of El Mediodía

Nature · Yecla, Altiplano, Murcia

A rock shelter with cave paintings of schematic art discovered in 1912, located on the eastern cliff face of Mount Arabí, in Yecla, about 800 metres from the paintings of the Cantos de la Visera. The depictions include anthropomorphic figures, plant and animal elements, and zigzag lines, and form part, together with the rest of the Mediterranean Basin rock-art complex, of the assets declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
