Yelso de Hayas Menhir
Yelso de Hayas Menhir submitted by irundarra : Site in Cantabria Spain (Vote or comment on this photo)
The mountains of the Ason-Aguera region of Cantabria have numerous prehistoric monuments, especially menhirs and barrows. One of the highlights is this stone on Mount Yelso, also also known as Mojon Alto.

It also serves as a milestone menhir as is found in the municipalities of Clean, Liendo and Ampuero.

Access: Take a turnoff to the right, just at the crossroads facing a very nice stone bench. Follow this trail about 550 m to reach the second white fence where we parked the car. From here we began the climb without any difficulty and without leaving the road. Pass by eucalyptus and pine trees, up to a hill where you turn to the right to reach the Menhir Yelso after a few hundred meters.
