Superb early Neolithic cave art site. extremely well preserved UNESCO listed - 8000 years old in shallow cliff face caves.
Includes fabulous human ( dancing ) images and more abstract ( to us) images, possibly including plants. One later deer image.
Unmissable. Easy access and interpretation board just off the Cv720 between benimaure and Castell de Castells where there is a museum related to the petroglyphs.
