**Dolmen de les Closes (Pla de l`Estany)** submitted by HernetheHunter : Site in Cataluña Spain (Vote or comment on this photo)

Burial Chamber in Cataluña. The site is located a few kilometers from Banyoles, Girona, Costa Brava, close to the village/community of Pujarnol. Considering that it is around 5,000 years old, it is in good shape, though it looks as though some degree of repair has been carried out on it. The dolmen is aligned East-West, and was probably once covered with stones, which was traditional for a Caulbearer tomb, as there is a pile of various sized stones at one end.

Just off the G-5247 from Pujarnol, take a turn up Avenguda de Puig Suris, though the dolmen is well signed along the main roads. There is place for one or two cars at the site (on the right hand side). Take the trail/path around and up to the right, and you will see the dolmen (The one to the left only leads to a farmhouse).
