The Bureba Corridor, a natural passage between the valleys of the Ebre and Duero rivers, has been used throughout its entire existence as the main passage to the interior of the Iberian Peninsula from Europe and it is at this point, in Atapuerca, where the first hominids in all of Europe are found.
