Sotarriza (Gibaja, Ramales)  
    Horse   Sotarriza cave is located in the oposite hillside to Arco caves and it was discovered by Lorenzo Sierra on the 12 of August of 1906, during one of the explorations. It is an area of difficult access because of its location in the mountain.

Inside we find a horse [CABALLO] drawn in black and some isolated traces. Recently, arrow-shaped engravings were also found. It could only be concluded that the horse, because of the representation shape, was made during the initial or middle Magdalenien, between 15.500 and 13.000 years ago.
