Los Pilares was used in the 1950s as the setting of the film Tirma (by Italian directors Paolo Moffa and Carlos Serrano de Osma). Unfortunately, the site was noticeably modified, with fake rock paintings and chalk lines in the original engravings left behind. The caves have also been defaced by graffiti and are threatened by erosion.
Right: Graffiti now defaces the walls of some Los Pilares' caves. |
