I have never been in Cave of Altamira and Paleolithic Cave Art of Northern Spain.
The cave of Altamira is a natural cavity in the rock, were we can find one of the most important pictorial and artistic cycles of prehistory is conserved.
On its roof almost a hundred animals and signs are represented, highlighting the 21 bison in different attitudes, accompanied by horses, boars, and bulls, made with different techniques (engraving, silhouetted, painted, scraped and shading effects) that give as result a composition of great movement and beauty, unique in paleolithic art. Its completion dates back 14,000 years. The painting is made with natural ocher of bloody color and the outline of the figures with black lines of charcoal.
