The Man in the lagoons – Laguna Tinaja

The passing of different cultures and civilizations through the High Guadiana Valley has left its print, though barely studied vestiges are not numerous at present times it is possible to establish a historical chronology since all these bodies of water represented a great attraction to our ancestors.

There is evidence of inhabitants dwelling there during the Low Paleolithic, like stone tools made by nomad tribes that received the benefits of multiple choices of game and fishing yielded by the lagoons. It is in the Neolithic period where various archaeological finds have been dated (Castillejos, Motillas, ancient pictures…) as well as from Iberian, Roman, Visigoth, Muslim and Christian times up to present days.
