The cave paintings of the Letreros cave are located in the municipality of Vélez-Blanco, in the province of Almería.

Dating back to the late Neolithic or Copper Age, they show various anthropomorphic figures, such as the Sorcerer of the Signboards or the Indalo (considered for centuries as one of the symbols of Almería). There are also a series of intertwined bitrangular figures that would represent a form of social organization based on kinship. Figures of different animals also appear, such as deer or goats.
