Catrinm visited on 23rd Feb 2020 Feb Difficult to know where to start !. Visit Gorafe absolutely- the landscape is phenomenal, the collection of dolmens unique. if you can get the leaflet from the visitor centre (now open at 12 And 5 (not 12-5) you can do planned walks although only about 40 are visible - each one numbered on the ground. Thevisitor centre absolutely go but it is bizarre - huge amount of money spend and difficult to describe I won't spoil it but do support them !! Directions to the amazing local petroglyphs were vague so check the route first at 12 before you try to find them - we didn't, sadly.

Free Guide book to all the dolmens of Gorafe Megalithic Park by Andy B on Monday, 01 May 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Massimo Sabattini writes: with Rocío Campos Maldonado, who is a Centro Interpretación del Megalitismo guide, I have written a photographic guide book to all
the dolmens of Gorafe Megalithic Park.

In this book, we have photographed all the dolmens that have been found to date within and out of the sign posted tracks. The book has also got maps and GPS points to localize the dolmens.

More details are here
http://www.casaruralealfano.com/es/guia-grupos-de-dolmen.html

On that page, click on the text under the images to download the book, it is not available in e-book, only in zip.file (containing an .exe file). The book is my and a friends work (we searched and found the location of the dolmens, took photographs and added the text and graphics).

Gorafe now has a high tech large centre dedicated to this archaeological landscape of 240 tombs. A video here http://vimeo.com/16426361 - will be adding more in the days and weeks ahead.

Re: Gorafe by Anonymous on Thursday, 27 October 2011
If going to southern Spain, try and get to Gorafe. The local community in this very economically deprived rural area have put their heart and soul into looking after the archaeology: they have built a new museum, right in the middle of their (tiny) village, and have given up private ownership of all the sites in the landscape, in order to create archaeological trails and open access to all the sites for visitors and tourists. Well worth visiting - leave plenty of time to do the walks up and along the valley sides. The village has a restaurant and even a small hotel, and they will be delighted to see you. Please support their efforts - the sites are not phenomenal individually, but as an archaeological landscape it is an extraordinary place. Very well worth the visit.
