Description:	2km from the Cullalvera cave and in front of the Pico de San Vicente, is the Covalanas cavern. This cave, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008, is a paradigmatic case due to the contemporaneity and homogeneity of its rock representations. Epoch: Its chronology, difficult to fix absolutely, seems to date back to an ancient phase, around 20,000 BC. The technique used is the dotted or slimy line, also present in the El Pendo cave. The hinds, the aurochs and a horse represented are of great realism and beauty, as they are endowed with movement. They were made 25,000 years ago and represent the oldest manifestations of this pointillist art that consists of applying the dye on the walls with the finger or with a tampon. The visit takes place through a narrow corridor that allows you to see the paintings from a short distance. They present an exceptional state of conservation, getting to observe the artist’s fingerprints.
