Mingubela Cave, also known as Peña Mingubela, is a fascinating rock shelter located near the small village of Ojos Albos in Ávila, Spain. This site is known for its ancient cave paintings, which depict various figures, including warriors, some of whom are shown holding shields or in prayer positions. The cave is divided by a stone column, which adds to its unique structure. If you are interested in visiting, it is important to note that the cave is only accessible on foot and the path can be quite steep, so it is advisable to bring a flashlight and seek precise directions from locals. Additionally, there are several hiking trails in the area, such as the circular trail from Ojos Albos that includes La Atalaya and Mingubela Cave.

The Convent of Santa María de Jesús, also known as Las Gordillas. This convent stands out for its Renaissance ashlar façade, decorated with columns and shields. The church of the convent has a humble structure, made of brick and adobe, with a north façade of Berroqueña ashlar. One of the most important pieces of the convent was the cenotaph of its founder, María Dávila, made of alabaster by Vasco de la Zarza. After the convent was abandoned in 1971, this cenotaph was moved to the new convent. The convent was declared a National Monument in 1991. ⛪🚶♂️🌞

It is the only rebuilt mill that still works, but the person who made it work died and I don't know if there is anyone who can teach it and put it into operation.
