Venta de la Perra
Cueva de Venta de la Perra is situated in the gorge of the River Carranza, opposite the village of the same name, and right on the boundary between the provinces of Cantabria and Vizcaya. The wide Carranza valley joins the main valley of the River Asón through a narrow gap, containing in the distance of a kilometer, numerous Paleolithic sites located in the steep limestone slopes of both sides of the valley. The northern slope, where Venta de la Perra is located, has the greater number of sites, as the cave entrances face south and are more suitable for habitation. This is the explanation for the high proportion of sites with archaeological deposits or cave art, especially the caves of Arco A, Arco B-C and Pondra.
