Covalanas
Covalanas is situated on the N.E. side of the hill known as Monte Haza or Pando, at 320 above sea level, overlooking the steep-sided inland valley of a tributary of the River Asón. It is, without doubt, the most interesting of the caves with Paleolithic cave art in Ramales de la Victoria; a group which also includes the caves of La Cullalvera, La Haza and El Mirón. These four caves can be added to other caves in the near vicinity, with which they sometimes show a close artistic and chronological relationship, namely Morro, Pondra, Arco B-C, Arco A, Sotarriza and Venta de la Perra. This second cluster of sites is found in the gorge of the River Carranza, another tributary of the Asón, and all except the last one, which lies within the province of Vizcaya, belong to the same municipal district of Ramales, in Cantabria.
