For a start entrance is free! This may change for Brits after Brexit but at the moment it’s free. The info centre is only in Spanish but if you use Google translate with the camera option you will get the gist. Their are 2 actual burial mounds - You can go inside. They are pretty cool. ‘Like’ please if you have found this useful
Antequera Dolmens Located at the heart of Andalusia in southern Spain. The site contain three megalithic monuments: the Menga and Viera dolmens and the Tholos of El Romeral. These three tombs, buried beneath their original earth tumuli, are one of the most remarkable architectural works of European prehistory and one of the most important examples of European Megalithism. The Menga and Viera dolmens were probably built between 3500 and 3000BC, while El Romeral was constructed in about 2500BC. Considering the structures are at least 5000 years old, they are in remarkably good condition. The Neolithic Dolmen of Menga represents one of the most important masterpiece of megalithic architecture based on post-and-lintel construction with an earthen covering and notable for its enormous dimensions. Menga Dolmen in the largest in Europe at nearly 30m long. The largest upright stone weighs 180 tonnes. The three megalithic monuments reflect a stage of human history in which the first ceremonial monuments in Western Europe were built.
Amazing to see how it was built.
Interesting and well kept. It s well suited for a short visit. Free admission and parking on site. Within a short drive from town centre. There is no bar facility other than a temporary food truck right outside the information office
