The necropolis of Arteara is the largest aboriginal burial site on the island of Gran Canaria, both in terms of size and number of graves. The 137,570 square meter area contains 809 individual and collective burial mounds.

You can see the burial mounds better on the short circuit than from the Mirador at the very end

From here you can see the bad country formed by the landslides of the cliff. If you look closely, you can see the more than 200 mounds.
