Arte rupestre de los valles de Otíñar, Prehistoric rock art site in Otíñar, Spain
The rock art collection spreads across multiple caves and shelters, featuring paintings of animals, human figures, and geometric patterns on limestone walls.
Archaeological findings indicate these cave paintings date back to the Neolithic period, with the oldest representation being a goat in Morrón Cave.
The paintings demonstrate early human artistic expression, depicting hunting scenes, daily activities, and symbolic representations from ancient communities.

The Tinaja Ravine shelter contains over 30 petroglyphs with concentric circles, representing early symbolic communication from the 4th-3rd millennium BC.
