One of the best kept secrets in Spain, in all of Europe even! Such a unique landscape and microclimate, its one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve landed on another planet. The landscape is full of wild rock formations, deep canyons, and you'll also see ancient tombs (they call them 'dolmens') scattered around. Amazingly, I also encountered some species of deer (they were far away so not sure if they were deer or goats, or some other ungulate species) scrambling up the cliff walls. There are lots of trails to explore, depending on whether one wants to walk/hike or drive. If driving, the popular trail is the one that leads to the beautiful Los Coloraos area, though the road there is rough and requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle and a bit of expertise with offroad driving. And if hiking there are many trails varying in length - I did one from Puntal de Don Diego down to Fuente del Carrizal, which opens into a long trail along the floor of a canyon. If hiking in the summer months, this is important: make sure take lots of water (and food), as it gets quite hot and there is virtually no shade! Also, it's preferable to hike in the earlier part of the day before the heat reaches its peak. Overall, it's one of the most unique and spectacular landscapes in spain, and it's surprising that it's not...

El Parque Megalítico de Gorafe se encuentra en la Depresión de Gorafe. En este sector, el río de Gor ha excavado un profundo cañón cuyo fondo ocupa la vega y es donde se encuentra asentada la población. Tiempo atrás, la mayor parte de las viviendas estaban excavadas en "cuevas", tipología de hábitat común en la comarca donde los materiales limoso-arcillosos permiten  su  excavación.

Aquí se encuentra una de las mayores concentraciones de dólmenes -240- (construcciones funerarias megalíticas de la Edad del Bronce), que suponen junto a otras que se encuentran en el valle y en el otro lado del cañón, una de las mayores concentraciones de este tipo de monumentos funerarios en España, como también de Europa.

Los sepulcros megalíticos (dólmenes) de la zona de Gorafe están rodeados de un paisaje extraordinario llamado Bad Lands. Un número importante de los dólmenes se encuentran en el borde del llano sobre el cañón aunque también existen otros emplazamientos, para su construcción se utilizaron grandes trozos de conglomerado carbonatado "caliches" obtenidos del mismo lugar donde fueron construidos.

Actualmente se han restaurado unos treinta y todos se pueden visitar. Se recomienda el nº 134 por su especial tipología y estados de conservación.

Este recurso forma parte de la georuta "Desierto de Gorafe", junto con el Centro de Interpretación del Megalitismo de Gorafe y otros recursos naturales de...

The walkway just below this spot, Dólmenes Conquin, is much better than the area above. This area is a very dry plateau with interspersed dolmen remains, but very little remains of the dolmens. The view of the valley below is spectacular. I do recommend a stop, but mainly then go to the Dólmenes Conquin...

It seems that the place is not popular. The Megalithic structures, for me as an ordinary person, did not made any greate effect. But the place, the desert, is amazing. I had a great time driving in the nearby places, from panorama to panorama or other points I liked to see.

Un lugar mágico y evocador que hará las delicias de todo aquel enamorado de la prehistoria o que posea simplemente un mínimo de sensibilidad. Paseando entre éstos monumentos pretéritos uno se encuentra con lo transcendente, dándose un baño de espiritualidad del que tan necesitados estamos en la ajetreada vida moderna que nos toca llevar. OTRA COSA ES EL CENTRO DE INTERPRETACIÓN que está muy por debajo de todo lo que ofrecen los Dolmenes en si. Pretencioso, poco pedagógico ( hasta un poco cutre en el apartado de audiovisuales ) y sobre todo presumiblemente muy caro aporta muy poco al visitante. La cartelería e indicaciones para seguir las rutas manifiestamente mejorables y notabilisimamente insuficientes. Mal sabor de boca con respecto a esto. Prefiero quedarme con sus maravillosos Dolmenes.
