While Cantabria’s Altamira cave is world-renowned, the lesser-known network of subterranean caverns scattered throughout the province is favored by serious spelunkers (and these you can enter and explore at random). Cavers flock to the high basin of the Río Asón and the valleys of Ruega and Sob in far southeastern Cantabría.
The town of Ramales de la Victoria is the nearest urban center to these sights, which include the Cueva de Covalanas and Cueva de Cullalvera, both with primitive prehistoric depictions of horses and other figures adorning their walls (open every day May-Sept. 10 am-1 pm and 4-7 pm; Oct.-April 10 am-2 pm, closed Mon. and Tues.) Visits to these caves are limited to 60 people per day, admitted at intervals in groups of 10.
