Rock Cut Tomb in Andalucía

The tombs of the Necrópolis de Sierra Martilla can be found on three levels. Start at the first information board (see coordinates of this page). From here it's a 5-minute walk up the hill to the first level. The tombs on this level were dug into the ground. There are also a few cairns. At the end of the footpath you can go left, to the lower second level. The gate is not locked, but must always be closed. On the second level you will find 6 of the 8 dolmens. The information board on this level shows photos of all 8 dolmens. These burial chambers are fully or partially dug out of the rock. For the third and lowest level you must return to the start and follow the road for approximately 400 m. On the left side of the road you will find the 7th dolmen, under a tree. The 8th and largest dolmen is another 60 metres further, also on the left side of the road.
