Cueva de Santimamiñe contains cave paintings from the Magdalènien, about 13,000 years old. Almost a hundred animal figures, painted on the cave walls, show bisons, bears, deer, and wild boars.
A track is starting at the cave, leading to one of the magical places of the Basque Country. The Oma Forest is an animated forest, the pine trees are painted by the artist Agustín Ibarrola.
