It is a granite rock in the middle of a beautiful holm oak pasture with two holes that look like two mysterious cave eyes. Experts say that it is an ancient place of worship, ritual or burial, next to it there are several anthropomorphic tombs from medieval times and archaeological remains of remote origin have been found.
