La Cueva de Covadonga is an important piece of Spanish history. Before the reconquest, a small group of Christian soldiers rebelled against the Moors in this area. Outrageously outnumbered, they fought from this cave and were able to win the battle by shooting arrows at the Moors as they tried to ascend the unfamiliar, treacherous path to the cave. This victory inspired other rebellions that eventually led to the reconquest of Spain. |
