Mamoa do Batateiro

Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in North Portugal.
Conselho de Melgaço.

A well-preserved dolmen in the woods of the Serra da Penada.

From the Lamas de Mouro Information Centre (see separate entry), take the road towards Gaviera. After about 8 km, at a abundantly signposted T-junction (left to Gaviera, right to Riba de Mouro, straight on to Mamoa do Batateiro), take that forest road bang in front of you, preferably on foot. After 1200 m or so, at a T-junction, take right (= the stem of the T) for about 500m.
