La Pasiega Cave
The cave system of La Pasiega is situated on the steep hillside of Monte Castillo, half way between the decorated caves of Las Chimeneas and Las Monedas, and therefore also very near to Cueva de El Castillo. It was discovered in 1911 by the German archaeologists Hugo Obermaier and Paul Wernet, who were then taking part in the major excavations in the vestibule at El Castillo. The cave art inside La Pasiega, which turned out to be one of the most important decorated sites in the Cantabrian region, was then studied by the team of H. Breuil, H. Obermaier and H. Alcalde del Rio, and magnificently published in 1913.
