Great piece of history! The drive is tricky though. You will need a decent car there are a lot of potholes! Worth the visit though!
From the top car park its only a short walk. A much much longer walk from the other lay by area. Easy to misunderstand which one your going to look at due to the poor information. The stones themselves definitely need more information to tell the story behind it. The road up on small dirt bikes was excellent fun but cars need to take it steady.
We visited this site: the walk is quite long since it’s best to leave the car at a distance. The road to get there is in very poor condition, so you really need to drive slowly to avoid damaging the car. The archaeological site itself is nice – there’s nothing around it, but it’s still an interesting place to visit.
Loved it here. It was definitely worth the drive on the rough road to get here. Loved the energy. Such a cool space that many wouldn’t enjoy but big energy space and a lot of history.
Great place to visit, educational posts available along the road near the village. A great hike through cork oak forest is a part of unique experience way in and out of the significant prehistoric sites. Go there in the early morning or before sunset to have cool photos and cool weather
