In 1923, the decision was taken to establish a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Torrijos on the second Sunday of October, carrying in procession the image of the patroness.

Originally the dolmens were covered with earth to form a barrow, but time has eroded the soil leaving just the stones over the graves intact.

An elaborate tomb with rich artifacts (the Tholos de Montelirio) determined to be that of the cultural leader who, evidence indicates was venerated for decades after burial and another tomb that was not so elaborate, but also with artifacts that indicate high social status as a leader, had been excavated in Valencina and studied extensively.

In 2023, a dental enamel analysis techique that enables precise gender identification facilitated reinterpretation of the finds.

[2] The subject of the elaborate tomb is being discussed in scientific literature as "the Ivory Lady" and she is considered as the most socially prominent person identified during archaeological research of the Copper Age cultures of the Iberian peninsula that are dated to 3200 to 2500 BC,[3] approximately the time Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures were emerging and flourishing.
