Spain's Altamira caves reopen for a day

Spain's famous Altamira caves have briefly opened to the public, for the first time in 12 years.

Spaniards chosen in a draw marvelled at its Ice Age paintings of bison, bulls and other animals.

The visit, including time accessing the caves, lasted only just over half an hour - allowing the group about eight minutes to admire the paintings.
