Bolomor Cave is a Middle Paleolithic (Middle Stone Age) site, located in the beautiful Valencia region on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Those Neanderthals had some good taste in locations!

The site is interesting for its multiple hearths, the earliest of which dates back to Marine Isotope Stage 9, a paleoclimatic period which translates to about 300,000 years ago. More about that later. Bolomor cave has evidence of butchering and cooking turtles, rabbits and other small creatures by its Neanderthal occupants, pretty early in and of itself.
