Pondra
This cave is located on the northern side of the gorge formed by the River Carranza, a tributary of the Asón, very near the boundary between the Autonomous Community of Cantabria and the Basque Country. The same gorge has other caves with Paleolithic cave art: from east to west they are, Venta de la Perra, Arco A. Arco B-C and El Morro del Horidillo, as well as Cueva de Sotarriza on the opposite side of the gorge. Furthermore, several caves are known, like Cuevas del Polvorin and Chiquita, which only have human occupation deposits, with lithic and bone assemblages and faunal remains, corresponding to the Middle and Upper Paleolithic. All these sites are found in a stretch of the gorge little more than one kilometer long, coinciding with its narrowest part, between the hills of Pico del Carlista to the north and Peña de Rebuño in the south.
