The archaeological site Peñas de Cabrera, containing numerous rock shelters, is located in the municipality of Casabermeja [1]. In the early 1970s the University of Málaga began research in Peñas de Cabrera, focusing particularly on its rock and cave paintings [1]. As of 2016 thirty-two rock shelters featuring paintings, engravings and archaeological material, mainly ceramic and flint, have been recorded [1]. The rock and cave art is found in shelters made of sandstone [1]. Bowl and cup engravings have also been discovered outside the shelters, on horizontal surface areas [1].
