Llanes (Asturias) (Fig. 1). The cave has a wide entrance, 2.5 m high, forming a deep shelter, continued by a short gallery on the left, about 20 m long, that leads to a series of small chambers, with height decreasing towards the end to less than 1 m. Most of the right side of the cave is labyrinthic and, because of its low height and the density of columns, some parts are almost impenetrable. Descending south-west from the smaller secondary entrance, there is a large (but quite low) diamond shaped chamber with four openings. To the south, this chamber leads to a long gallery with signs of sporadic hydraulic activity. To the west, protected by a fence, there is a chamber where one of the few samples of not figurative prehistoric painting in the north of Spain can be found, consisting of red grills made by parallel lines enclosed in a quadrangular contour, but lacking any signs of animal figuration (

Strict troglobiont living on wet, concretionated cave walls covered by a clay film, although it can also be found on the ground, under concretion fragments. Some shells were collected at only 35 m away from the cave entrance. Empty shells are much more abundant than live individuals, which are much harder to find because their transparent shell and light cream color camouflages them with clay and concretions. Due the absence of decalcification in empty shells, these can last a long time (perhaps centuries) and accumulate by hundreds in a litter of clay sediments at the foot of cave walls.
