Write about the most important fact you think it is there.
A painting that depicts a horse's head is on the wall opposite the mouth of Cueva del Portalón (Porch Cave). The first person to mention it in writing was Jesús Carballo in 1910. Ever since, this head has been a source of controversy, firstly because some interpreted the simple motif as a bear while others saw a horse. Tracings seem to dispel any doubt: they clearly show the head of an equid with several identifiable anatomical parts including the base of the neck, the jaw line, the mouth, the forehead line, ears and eye.
