First, if using public transit, take bus L1 or L2 - every half hour - from town to hospital then walk 1.7km to the tholos. 1.0km of that walk is along busy highway but paved shoulders are generally wide (some narrower areas). Crossing busy road unsafe, obviously. Not great access but that's generally the case with most Spanish sites; not quite thinking through the details and ending up with a product that rates a B or B+ and never good enough for an A. Personnel at site just took down number of visitors in party and nationality. No explanations so come prepared with your own info. It's free so you get what...

A megalithic burial structure built around 2,500 BCE during the early Bronze Age. It was constructed using the tholos technique, forming a circular dome with stacked stones. The interior consists of a large round burial chamber and a smaller annex chamber. The entrance is aligned with El Torcal de Antequera, a famous karst landscape. Used as a collective burial site, it contained multiple human remains and ritual artifacts. If you walk, you can save time by crossing the railway tracks through Plaza...

This one is supposedly in its original state, which is perfect! The guide was eager to explain everything in Spanish, but he spoke so well we understood everything. Don't be put off by the path leading up to it. We also visited the museum and the other two dolmen, but this one was our favorite because of the guide. I recommend visiting the area, the museum is nice, too, and will be even better once it's completely finished (currently a few rooms and the bookstore see empty). The tickets are currently free...

Delighted we decided to visit this site. Of course we have a similar site called Newgrange. It's about a 45 minute walk from the motorhome Aire. The visit was free once you picked your ticket up at the museum. There are some rooms to visit there which are very interesting. Once we walked to the dolmen we had a lovely history chat with the woman guarding one of them. Highly recommend a visit.

Conjunto bien conservado. El Sepulcro Megalítico de El Romeral es un típico sepulcro de falsa cúpula. Tiene un corredor de paredes de mampostería y cubierta adintelada que conserva 11 losas, con una longitud máxima conservada de 26.30 m., una anchura media de 1.50 m. y una altura media de 1.95 m. La cámara, con cubierta de falsa cúpula, tiene sus paredes ligeramente abovedadas, elaboradas en mampostería que terminan en una losa horizontal; es de planta circular, con 5.20 m. de diámetro y 3.75 m. de altura. Al fondo de esta cámara se abre un vano que da acceso a un pequeño corredor que termina en una camarita, reproduciendo, a menor escala, la morfología y la técnica constructiva señaladas anteriormente. La longitud total conservada del sepulcro supera ligeramente los 34 m. El sepulcro se cubre con un túmulo de 68 m. de diámetro y está orientado sorprendentemente a un acimut de 199º, es decir, en el octante S-SO del horizonte y es uno de los poquísimos ejemplos de orientación a la mitad occidental del cielo en toda la Península Ibérica. Su eje apunta exactamente a la mayor “elevación montuosa” de la sierra de El Torcal, conocida como Camorro de las Siete Mesas.
