Breve descripción
Due to the limestone materials and the action of the water, in the Sierra Magina Natural Park there are oysters. The abundance of hunting and the wild fruits convinced our ancestors of the Neolithic, the first inhabitants of the Guadalquivir, to make it a place of residence. This is a test of the cave, actually a coat, that we visit with this path. National Historical Monument since 1924, and Good of Cultural Interest, in it we can see representations of rites and pastoralism.

The paintings present different tonalities, which can go from chestnut to more or less dark red. These colors were obtained by means of mineral pigments, iron oxide and ferruginous clays, mixed with animal fat. The schematic painting is of difficult and complex interpretation, and is mainly linked to the social structure of the groups in the area and the tasks they performed: collection, hunting and grazing.
The paintings we see inside are quite abstract, with relatively thick strokes. Possibly made with their own fingers, or with a rite crushed like a rustic brush. Several representations appear: zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures. Some of the human figures are accompanied by ornaments such as feathers, horns, weapons or other objects. The figure of an occulate, with tentacles and surrounded by human figures with arms in hand, is most powerful. Other representative paintings are those of two figures together and of an individual who seems to feed an animal.
To be able to visit these paintings it is necessary to order the key in the City Council of Jimena or in the Hermitage of the Virgin of Canava, next to its beautiful square with a magnificent fountain of several years, and with a thick grove around, located shortly before the beginning of the path.
Even Jimena for the A-320 (Real-Bedmar Mancha) connects with the A-316 (Estepa-Ubeda) and the A-401 (Ubeda-Moreda). From there to the upper part of the village and 100 m from the entrance of the municipal pool, you will find the beginning of the path.
