I visited the site on 25th November, 2019. Had to make an appointment first, via pgitanos@gmail.com. Entrance of the site is at 37.333930N, 3.952550W. Unroll the chain, go in, and place the chain back. Ignore the "do not enter" sign. Follow the road to the farmhouse.
Épona, an enthusiastic and friendly lady, welcomed me. She gave me a guidebook in English and the key of the gate. The gate is at 37.336870N, 3.954750W. Entrance fee is € 5.00 p.p. if you visit with 4 people or less. Unfortunately is was very foggy, but it was a very nice and interesting walk. The fog made it very mysterious. It took me 2 hours. A very unique site! Épona told me that there are almost a hundred megalithic monuments. I "only" found 13 dolmens and 15 cairns.

Re: Peña de los Gitanos by Anonymous on Sunday, 08 May 2011
I recently visited this site. It is on some private land, and the owner, Francisca Sánchez was very keen that we should feedback that visits are by appointment only. Her email is pgitanos@gmail.com and telephone number is (+34) 628 30 53 37. She speaks English.

The reason she's quite protective of the site is because it was used as a picnic spot by local people who then started having free festivals on the land which grew and grew until 12000 people went to the last one in 1998. They have been clearing up ever since and are still finding litter. She has had to put lots of work into training people to understand they can't just come up and make a mess/take stones away.

She would really like to be part of any network of people looking after neolithic sites, so if you know of any, please let her know.

Thanks,
