Carmonita Dolmen is located north of Mérida. Take the A66 motorway23 kilometres north and turn off onto the BA99 / CC78 to travel west into the village of Carmonita. Travel to the far side of the town and turn right (north) to reach a junction of 5 earth roads and tracks. The right hand one which travels uphill north will lead you to a fenced park after a kilometre.
The park is on the right hand side of this earth road and the dolmen is inside the park. There was plenty of room to park when I visited in April 2010. The coordinates at the site taken with my hand held GPS are: 39.16464N and 06.34265W.
