Cueva de los Murciélagos

The Cueva de los Murciélagos is a cave system in the Sierras Subbéticas [es] located about 4 km southeast of the town of Zuheros in the southern province of Córdoba in Spain.

[1] The caves are located in an extensive karst landscape at an altitude of 980 metres in the heart of the Cañada de Malos Vientos mountain (1000 m) in southern Andalusia.

[1] Speleologists discovered tombs from the middle Paleolithic period, which show evidence of human occupation of the caves 35,000 years ago.

[3][4] The researchers reconstructed the lives of people whose artefacts were found preferentially at the cave entrance.

They manufactured red painted vessels, as well as necklaces and bracelets made of sea shells, which they probably acquired through trade with coastal residents.
