Spain May 2017 - Peña Tu

The idol of Peña Tu is near Puertas de Vidiago, Llanes and is on a hill top reached by a good and well marked track. An ancient place of worship, dating from the Bronze Age, it still has its original paintings due to the protection of the overhanging top section. The curator waits in the car park, at opening times, to see who starts the climb and then takes his truck up to meet visitors and explain the paintings.
