Visit EKAIN: 'home' to the Pre-Historic man.

The Ekain Cave is one of the most important coves in the Basque Country. It's very famous for its cave paintings from the Magdalenian period. On 8th June 1969, Andoni Albizuri and Rafael Rezabal, along with other members of the Antxieta group, discovered the Ekain cave and its paintings. The cave is located in Zestoa (Gipuzkoa) and it is divided in different galleries. Ekain has around 70 animal figures like horses, bears, goats... It is considered to hold the most important cave paintings in the Basque Country and one of the richest and most beautyful collections in French-Cantabrian art.

Ekain cave, along with other 14 caves on the Cantabrian Cornice, for example, Altxerri and Santimamiñe, was declared World Heritage for Humanity on 2008. This declaration was a prize to the hard work made the Basque goverment and other assotiations like Aranzadi Science Society.

Ekainberri, the replica of Ekain is located 600 meters from the original cave. They built the replica to maintain the original cave in good condition.Thanks to the replica, all the people can now enjoy these Basque Paleolithic paintings produced 14.500-10.000 years ago and experience what it is like to be inside a pre-historic "home".
