091 Cueva de la Orilla Mijeo
La Secada VN51659780 Alt. 195m Length 35m

The entrance at the top of a field with several chestnut trees leads into a long chamber sloping down to the left. On the right there is a climb down into a series of squeezes which choke. Children were frightened away from this cave by the story that it contained a large snake. A flat millstone, of uncertain age, was found in the lowest part of the main passage.

On a visit at Easter 2000, it was suggested that the draught was coming up through the floor back into the main mass of big boulders.
