During the agricultural revolution thousands of years before Christ, these were sacred places where the deceased were buried and venerated. Often these places were destroyed by placing buildings of the "true faith" on the "pagan" places. That did not happen here and the history has remained intact.
It is special to be able to see so many treasures from antiquity together. You don't have to be a historian to realize that there is much more hidden here.

Circular route around Capmany ideal for lovers of megalithic monuments, given that we can visit up to eight dolmens and menhirs. It is an excursion with no unevenness but of considerable length, recommended for people who are used to walking. The village of Capmany, in the Alt Empordà, is just ten kilometers from La Jonquera. Its surroundings are made up of quite rugged terrain and surrounded by mountain ranges, such as the Comunera, the Blanca dels Estanys, the Solana, Bosquerós and the Horta mountains. Walking around its surroundings we see everywhere large expanses of cork and oak groves and several torrents and streams, as well as numerous menhirs and dolmens, hidden in the middle of the woods.
