The archaeological site of La Mosquita or Paraje de San Miguel is located in a secondary valley on the left bank of the Ebro river, in the municipality of Villalaín (Burgos). The archaeological ensemble is articulated around the La Mosquita cave, a clearly anthropized space over time through the placement of up to 9 cists excavated in the geological site and the detailing of a head and altar, causing a change in orientation. In addition to these elements, clearly pre–Christian elements such as cave paintings have been studied, where an anthropomorph with a horned headdress stands out. Along with these elements, other tombs excavated in the walls of the rocky cliff where the entire complex is located have been located outside the cave. From the study of the same, it has been possible to grant an absolute chronology to the whole, which allows us to delve into the hermit occupation in the Ebro valley.
