Prehistoric Workshop
In another cave very close to the caves of l’Espluga, the Cueva del Castell, is where the students can carry out a Prehistoric Workshop.
The first activity begins just outside the Cova del Castell, taking advantage of a hollow in the rock, with the construction of a small hut with animal skins and tree poles to see how people in prehistoric times protected themselves from the cold in winter and the heat in summer.
Inside the Cova del Castell, schoolchildren will discover rock art. They will see how a stone lamp is lit with grease, they will be shown the different tools for painting or engraving and they will observe the different natural pigments. The activity will end with the production of a rock painting or engraving where each participant will take home a stone slab with their own artistic creation.
The duration of the Prehistoric Workshop is 1.30 hours and is aimed at students in kindergarten and primary school.
