Arenaza Cave
Cueva de Arenaza is situated on the side of the hill Pico de la Arena, 400m away from the village of San Pedro de Galdames, in Vizcaya. The geographical position of the cave, and the natural conditions of its surroundings, would have been highly suitable for settlements during long periods of time in the Upper Paleolithic. Its low altitude above sea level, about 150m, and its south-facing entrance, must have helped to ameliorate the harsh climatic conditions of the glaciations. At the same time, a steady supply of food by hunting and gathering was practically guaranteed during the Paleolithic. The cave is located near two areas where hunting gregarious animals must have been especially easy: the cliffs of the hills Monte Ganerán and Pico de la Cruz, in an area where the valley is narrower, near the present-day village of Garay. The River Galdames occupies the valley floor, about 80m below the cave, and this was doubtlessly fished by the prehistoric populations.
