Sepulturas antropomórficas de la Ermida de Nª Sª de Soito
Sepulturas antropomórficas de la Ermida de Nª Sª de Soito submitted by Alta-Falisa : The tomb ('sepultura'), cut in one single rock, intended for two people. March 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two Sepulturas antropomórficas cut side by side in the same piece of rock. One is still pretty well preserved, the other is half destroyed.

Signposted a first time in Fernão Joanes, Avenida da Boa Esperança, upon leaving the town westwards, exactly at (40.48308, -7.35523).
Signposted one last time at (40.47623, -7.36454), see bottom photo -- about 300 m before the chapel of the Hermitage de Nª Sª de Soito, then visible (if I remember right...) in front of you on a hilltop.
The rest is on foot. Aim for the big rock outcrops (photo) about 80-100 m uphill of the path; the tombs, cut in the same stone, are about 25 m to the West. You'll need to search a bit for them, hidden as they are in the broom.

The coordinates of the tombs have been measured on the spot.

March 2015.

Sepulturas antropomórficas de la Ermida de Nª Sª de Soito submitted by Alta-Falisa : The view on the valley seen from the 'sepulturas', which are not easy to find at first because of the high broom. In the distance, you can guess the road (coming from Fernão Joanes on the left), continuing to the village, the hermitage and the tennis court towards the right. March 2015.

Sepulturas antropomórficas de la Ermida de Nª Sª de Soito submitted by Alta-Falisa : After the curve to the right (on the earth road) seen on the photo hereunder, aim for the two rock outcrops about 80 meters in front of you. They do not belong to the 'sepulturas', they are just a landmark. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Sepulturas antropomórficas de la Ermida de Nª Sª de Soito submitted by Alta-Falisa : Coming from the town of Fernão Jaones, this is the last signpost : at (40.47623, -7.36454). From here, you'll have to walk uphill for about 100 m. And yes, I did park the car a bit better after having taken this photo... March 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
