045 Cueva del Humo
South Vega VN49129531 Alt. 265m Length 90m Depth 40m

Updated 6th May 2000

A small entrance slopes down into a chamber with a squeeze into a well decorated passage which slopes steeply down to the base of an open shaft.

The cave was probably used during the Civil War, and the lower passage has been tunnelled (to provide an exit?) with the rusting pick-axe still to be seen at its end.
