The Cuevona de Avín, which houses the Glacial Fauna Interpretation Centre, is a large cavity through which a small stream flows.
Info
This cave was occupied during the Palaeolithic period and later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was used as a rest stop, with the addition of an inn and a forge. Recently, the forge building and the cave were remodelled to house the Glacial Fauna Interpretation Centre, from where you can take a guided tour of the interior of the Cave.
During the visit we will find life-size replicas of several reproductions of mammoth, giant deer, woolly rhinoceros, sabre-toothed tiger... and the reproduction of the fossil remains of a rhinoceros found in the nearby cave of Pozu de La Peruyal.
