The cave is located in a coastal cliff. It consists of one 360 ​​meter corridor. It was discovered in 1908 by Hermilia Alcalde del Rió, who published the results of his research in 1911. The paintings are located in five places of the cave. Made, sometimes also yellow and black paint, they present images of animals, mainly bison, horses and deer. One of the paintings presents the image of fish unique for Paleolithic art. In addition, the cave has abstract signs and rock engines. The chronology of paintings is disputed; They are associated with Magdalese art, but their formation is usually divided into several phases.
