- Claude MVence, France967 contributionsAn impressive siteThis site shows 2 dolmens which date back to 5500 and 4500 yrs ago. Both are remarquable in size and for the domes that cover then and the huge stones cut and transported to build the site. However since they are in a populated place, no artefacts or remains have been found to anylyze to understand its true significance. It is fascinating and impressive nonetheless.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 April 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a must to vist when in Costa Del Sol but the way the exhibition is organized is a show stopper. Instead of going straight to what you want to see, you have to do an absurb tour/walk. When questionned, the officer refers to prohibited walk path but why then do they find a way to exit that is 10 time shorter than the entrance way. This is f... stupid and it stopped me enjoying the interest of the visit.

The town of Antequera is known for the prehistoric remains found there. The main site comprises 2 dolmen about 4000 years old and is situated on the Northern ring road in a well landscaped park. When we visited the museum which is to be inaugurated on the site was not yet open, but we were shown an informative video detailing the construction process of the two dolmen (Menga and Viera). You then walk the site and can enter the impressive monuments. These are small and the overall visit will take little more than an hour. Entry is free for EU citizens. There is a third monument, The Tholos de Romeral which is a beehive tomb, about 1000 years more recent than the other two monuments and this is located on an industrial site about a 10 minute drive away. Again the tomb is impressive and there are people at all sites to answer questions. The sites were relatively empty when we visited and we could enjoy these must see monuments.

Visited on a Monday which meant the museum was closed. You could nevertheless walk the site. The walk takes you behind the original tumuli before the chance to view two dolmens: Viera and Menga. The sites themselves vary as to what can be seen. I suspect the museum would flesh things out, providing needed interpretation. What you can appreciate is the massive blocks used to construct these dolmens. It was around a half hour visit but surely would be double that if the museum was open. Not sure if a museum fee but there was no charge for walking the site.

Execelent prehistoric site with impresive burial buildings. There's a really interesting video in the visitor center previous to the visit. After that there's a guided tour in Spanish, but I think they offer other languajes aswell.
The visit is free but you must book 'cause is really popular.

Well preserved place. At the visitors centre you can watch a presentation about how it was made and the surroundings were they got the materials to build it. Ask for information because it's not all in one place. If you are lucky enough you can get a leaflet in your language.

To fully understand the importance of this site some knowledge should be acquired before visiting, as there are no explanations or diagrams to put it into historic context directly at the Dolmens. (There is a small visitor center, but as we were short on time we didn't have time to stop in)
Visiting the dolmens is free and one can freely walk around and explore. Standing inside the dolmens and seeing the sheer size of the monoliths and slabs of rock used to build them shows how important they must have been to our ancestors.

A very interesting insight into man's more creative humane nature. Essential to watch the video in order to grasp the scale of the work and effort required to construct these structures only using absolutely rudimentary tools.

Mi problema es que, después de horas de búsquedas, no he encontrado nada sobre las visitas guiadas (estoy interesado en el precio, DURACIÓN y cómo reservarla). Me harías un favor si me facilitaras la información y la web desde donde pueda hacerlo. Gracias. Un saludo.

Es gratuito, si se reúne allí mismo, un grupo de 15 en el mismo momento se realiza una vista guiada. A mi me sucedió.
