The cave of Tito Bustillo is one of the great sanctuaries of the Palaeolithic art of Europe. It is part of a network of caverns connected to each other and belonging to the same limestone formation in which other caves opened temporarily inhabited by prehistoric man.Ribadesella was one of the world cradles of Paleolithic civilization, with generations and generations of men who grew and multiplied around the estuary of Sella. A perennial continuity of life that extended during 25.000 long years.
The Paleolithic potential in Ribadesella equals, at least, the three most important foci in the world. The complexes of La Garma and El Castillo in Cantabria, and Les Eyzies in France.
From 2008 the cave is HERITAGE OF HUMANITY.
