    Such a truly old stone with such a history, you just have to hug it.

      There are still many hidden prehistoric treasures in this area. It has not really been explored well yet. Especially in the forests there are many stones, which you can see as a layman that much will still be discovered here.

        The Vidal "menhir", originally considered as such by Lluís Marià Vidal in 1914, is actually an erratic block of granite with sculptures. After a more recent archaeological review, this block was found to contain engravings depicting an anthropomorphic central motif in the form of a Latin cross, among other elements. This discovery revealed symbolic wealth and established a connection with other prehistoric sites in the area, such as the Pedra dels Sacrificis in Capmany. The reinterpretation of this monument demonstrates the importance of constant revision of archaeological knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration to better understand the past.
