Incluso resultaría pobre al compararlo con el arte parietal paleolítico de Andalucía. En realidad, el mapa de situación de los yacimientos citados en este apartado ofrece una reducida dispersión de puntos, con notables vacíos geográficos, que queda francamente por debajo de las concentraciones que caracterizan algunas zonas de la región cantábrica o de Francia.
