エストレマドゥーラの天然記念物・トップ20

The Jerte River rises in the Gredos mountain range and flows through the impressive valley of the same name in northern Extremadura. Along its way, it feeds gorges, natural pools, and lush forests, becoming a true oasis, especially in spring, when cherry blossoms cover the landscape.

Beautiful area with steep slopes

Anthropomorphic graves are those that have a human-shaped floor plan, with just enough space to place the deceased in a supine position and a narrowing to force the deceased's head to rest facing forward.

The information value of the photos is zero! OK, there is water, but what are the paths like, their condition, etc.

the water is super cold even in summer!!!

Ideal habitat and breeding ground for large birds.

Eagles, vultures and black storks can be seen particularly well here.

The Magacela dolmen, also known as the Cerca del Marzo dolmen, is located northeast of Magacela, near Don Benito. This impressive megalithic monument dates back to the Chalcolithic period and is a fascinating testament to the region's history. The dolmen consists of a round chamber built with 12 granite blocks. The average height of the orthostats is 1.75 meters, and two entrance blocks exceed 2 meters in height. Five of the stones are engraved on the interior, including an eleven-ray solar motif and a vertical feathered motif unique to the Iberian Peninsula. In addition, there are several bowls at the bottom of the stone. Although the original corridor has not been preserved, research indicates that it was approximately 9 meters in length. Several hypotheses about the old roof are debated, such as a false dome, a large stone slab or a wooden roof. Although the corridor has sadly disappeared, the dolmen chamber remains an impressive vestige of the past. Definitely worth a visit! 😊
