Spanish term or phrase: incursión relámpago
En la época en que tuvo lugar el descubrimiento no se contó con medios que permitieran fotografiar la representación sin problemas para la misma. Por este motivo se decidió cerrar la Cueva de forma hermética y sólo se dió a conocer una breve nota sobre el hallazgo en el XX Congreso Nacional de Arqueología celebrado en Santander en 1989.
Hoy, tras una incursión relámpago podemos presentar las primeras imágenes de los motivos pictóricos, realizados con una cámara digital de pequeño formato sin parámetros de corrección óptica


I just don't think "lightening raid" fits here!! Or am I wrong???
