Santimamiñe

Why go

Santimamiñe connects a long archaeological sequence with animal images made by prehistoric people. The interpretation helps separate two different stories: the cave as a place of repeated occupation and its decorated chambers as a record of Palaeolithic art. It is a focused cultural stop alongside the estuary’s outdoor landscapes.

What to look for

• The prehistoric animal imagery includes bison, horses, deer and a bear.
• The nearby San Mamés hermitage provides the virtual view of the decorated cave.

Useful to know

• Confirm the current guided experience and meeting point before travelling to Kortezubi.
• Allow space in the day for the full interpretation visit rather than a quick look at the cave mouth.
