Some of Spain’s best cave art, including superb horse paintings probably done around 15,000 to 10,000 BCE, lie inside the World Heritage–listed Cueva de Tito Bustillo, 300m south of the western end of the Sella bridge. The modern Centro de Arte Rupestre Tito Bustillo, 200m south of the cave, is well worth a visit for its displays, video and replicas.
