Visit Puente Viesgo, Spain
Puente Viesgo has four sets of prehistoric caves, two of which are open to the public, though numbers are limited so book in advance.
The Las Monedas caves and the El Castillo caves are wonderful. Filled with stalagmites and stalactites and also some excellent pre-historic paintings. The paintings are of animals including horses and bison and there are 50 hand prints which, rather bizarrely are almost all of the left hand. There is also a visitor centre with computer based 360° views of all four caves.
Puente Viesgo itself is in a fabulous location in a river gorge surrounded by forests. It is also home to a natural spring and you can visit or stay at the Gran Hotel Balneario for various hydro-therapy treatments. The hotel is a luxury 4 star hotel.
