Cueva Cuatro Puertas

Definitely worth seeing!!! But not so suitable as a hiking destination because the environment is not nice. - To explain the text of the plaque: This unique cave complex of the ancient Canarians on the mountain known as Montana Bermeja consists of dwelling caves as well as granaries and areas that were probably used as places of worship. Of particular interest is the Cueva de Cuatro Puertas: it is a cave carved into the tufa, in front of which there is a large artificial square. The indentations, which may have served as support pillars, suggest that the square was once covered. Nearby is a circular channel carved into the bedrock. It is assumed that it was a cult place, a so-called Almogaren. If you follow the path laid out by the old Canarians in an easterly direction, you will reach another artificially created cave on the south side of the mountain, the Cueva de los Papeles. The walls are decorated with triangular symbols, commonly known as fertility symbols, which may have been associated with sacrificial rituals. Also on the south side is the cave complex known as Los Pilares, which served as a dwelling and storehouse. A little off the path you come across one of the few known pre-Hispanic quarries, where the material necessary for the production of the round hand grinding stones was mined.
