Memories of Spain

First program of the series 'Memoria de España' in which Spanish history is reviewed from its origins. In this first program we see how Neanthertals find in the Iberic Peninsula the last of their lands. As time goes by, powerful and intelligent species get extinct and only the Homo Sapiens remains in earth.

The discovery of the Altamira Cave in Cantabria by Marcelino de Sautuola changes radically the perception of prehistory.

From centuries VII to VI B.C. the civilization of Tarteso which occupies the south west of the Iberian Peninsula, atracts sailors from the oriental Mediterranean because of their wealth. Tarteso was a culture catalyst, and also the first state and the first mining economy of the peninsula, although their path is covered in mistery and enigma.
