In first place, we can see two horizontal zig-zags. One of them is 6,8 cm long, and the other one is 3 cm long. We can relate with the zig-zags a serie of mainly vertical lines. These graphite lines, in somecases superimposede to the zig-zag figures, are from 2 cm to 7cm long. And they get to the lower indeterminate figure. This is a big colour blost, 6.5 cm long-2.5 cm max,wide, and some spots close to its right upper part. Secondly, we can point out a composition executed with vertical direction. Up to down, on one hand, 10 lined up swallow-like ancor anthropomorphs. The better conserved figures are 0,6 cm high and 1,7 cm length. An horizontal ramifyed anthropomorph is placed below the latters. This figure is 3,6 cm long, with 17 branches maded by thin lines. These branches are 0,9 cm long. A star-shaped figure is placed below it. This figure has diameter of 1,3 cm and we can distinguish five appendixes placed radially. The same composition is placed lower down, but, in this case we can see only three swallow-like ancor anthropomorphs. On the other hand, we can see one more vertical composition, in this case with figures made with very thin lines (they are from 0,1 cm to 0,7 cm wide). In the upper part of this composition there are two ramifyed anthropomorphs. One of them has a appendix in its lower part. This appendix is a snaky figure and is 5 cm long. The other ramifyed has six branches and is 2,3 cm high. At the right side, we can see a small swallow-like ancor anthropomorph. An indeterminate figure is placed below these. Lower down, we can see a complex figure made from three ramifyed anthropomorphs placed above a kind of reticle. This reticle is dividided into eight spaces. This complex figure is 9 cm high and 7 cm long. Two lines of spots are placed below these. They have respectively eight and three elements. The spots are from 0,2 cm to 0,5 cm diameter. Finally, at the lower part of this composition, we can see another reticle, in this case is divided in six irregular spaces. Its outline is very winding. This reticle is 4,5 cm high and 6 cm length. All the shelter's figures are red.

Notes: |
The Natural Park Area has been traditionaly used by shepherds. They followed all the water courses which cross the region, and they where the authors of many bonfires made inside the shelters. Now there are not shephers inside the Park, and people can´t visit many areas.The rock shelter was discovered during the prospection made by Colectivo Barbaón in 1998. |
