    From the Car Park of the Cueva de los Franceses (in the municipality of Pomar de Valdivia-Palencia) or surrounding the Páramo along one of its paths, you can reach this Menhir de Canto Hito.
    Suddenly in the middle of nowhere you find a large limestone leaning in what looks like a somewhat unstable balance and when you get closer you discover that it is surrounded by
    a perfect circle of stones that make the monolith is right in the center of it, so they say that it is not ruled out that there was a burial mound built around it or that it had something to do with an ancient sundial.
