Recently (post-2010) signposted several times all around, the last (and most useful) signpost being at (40.66035, -7.39536) ; it is visible from both directions. From there, 500 m on an earth road (not meant for ordinary cars, but nonetheless "doable").
The big boulder (photo on the left) usually shown to illustrate the site is not "technically" part of the Necrópole, but it must have always drawn the attention and is now a useful landmark.
The coordinates I give for the site correspond to this boulder. Follow the earth road ; the site is just under the HV line.
March 2015.
