To the southwest, the sacred mountain of Canigou is brooding in amongst the clouds.

In that case, they'd see the sun go down over the sacred mountain at Winter Solstice sunset, from the tomb opening. (If it wasn't cloudy like this!)

The sun has a tendency to break though clouds on Solstice, the light would still be aligned...dont think of it as an orb or disc, more like a beam that gets concentrated once it gets into the dark interior space. It is a clock as well as a calendar
