3. Paleolithic caves of the Espluga, Francoli, Tarragona\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
One of the longest conglomerate rock caves in the world, the Paleolithic caves of the Espluga have provided scientists with invaluable evidence of how humans came to be. The underground site is home to over 100 ancient engravings thought to be up to 15,000 years old!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Many of the artwork depicts wildlife including deer, horses and oxen, but some are too abstract and eroded for researchers to conclude a definitive answer to their work. Perhaps our future Catalunya campers can uncover the secrets of the caves and the answers to our past. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb2\/3″][vc_column_text]The historic sites of Catalunya stretch far and wide across the land.
