Re: Menir da Cabeça do Rochedo by Anonymous on Saturday, 22 June 2019
The standing stone coordinates are 37.133193 N and 8.701528 W [updated]; driving north from Lagos, need to take a left turn off N120, just after Portelas and Restaurante Mendes. There is no signage at the intersection, just a bus stop. Drive uphill for about 500m; the menhir is in a field to your right, just before a stone quarry (on your left).
