A Spanish word for 'cave,' referring to a natural underground chamber or hollow space in rock.
From Latin 'cavea' meaning cavity or hollow. The same root gives us English 'cave,' 'cavity,' and 'concave,' all describing hollow or sunken spaces.
Spain is famous for its cuevas like the Cave of Altamira, which contains 36,000-year-old handprints made by prehistoric people—these weren't just shelter, they were art galleries and spiritual spaces.
