Spain Travel – Asturias: The Tito Bustillo Prehistoric Cave and a Scenic Walk in Ribadesella Well, my time in the high mountains of the Asturian Picos de Europa was over. I checked out of the Hotel La Cepada, my cozy mountain abode with the picturesque views of the town of Cangas de Onís, got into my car and drove northwards towards the Atlantic coastline. After two days with rather poor weather, the skies were clearing up nicely and a gorgeous sunny day was in store for me. To get exposed to some of the prehistoric sights in Asturias I stopped at the Cave of Tito Bustillo, which is world-renowned for its Paleolitic art. Located on the western bank of the Sella River in the small town of Ribadesella, this cave was discovered by a group of adventurous young men in 1968. One of these young men, Tito Bustillo, died just days afterwards in a mountaineering accident and the cave was named in his honour. I joined a tour group to get a better understanding of this unique ancient heritage site. The Cueva de Tito Bustillo is a karst cave that is entered through a main gallery with a length of 540 metres. Then there is a junction with a path leading off to the right to the original...more
