**Necrópolis de las Aguilillas** submitted by ShamrockStone : Site in Andalucía Spain (Vote or comment on this photo)

This site is located north-west of Málaga, at the junction of the rivers Guadalteba, Guadalhorce and Turón. It dates back to the transition from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BCE and is made up of seven structures that were excavated from the sandstone, featuring corridors that lead to the main chamber. These 'artificial caves' resemble a mother's womb, to which the deceased would return after being laid to rest.

There is a circular path to visit the seven tombs of the Necropolis; the route is around two kilometres long and of medium-low difficulty.
