Hiking

The Cave Paintings of La Calderita are located in the Sierra de La Calderita, in La Zarza (Badajoz). They are a set of prehistoric rock art believed to date from the late Neolithic to the end of the Chalcolithic or even the Late Bronze Age, meaning they could be between 4000 and 1000 BC. These paintings were discovered in 1916 by archaeologist and prehistorian French Henri Breuil, with the help of guide Tomás Pareja.
