Alta-Falisa visited on 15th Mar 2014 - their rating: Cond: 2 Access: 2 Little known (so far !) and uneasy to access (see road description posted with main photo), that is precisely a good reason to visit these two dolmens.
One more reason is that the region around Penedono is very rich in ancient monuments, spread over a distance of about 50 km, therefore easily requiring one full day. Add to them all the possible ones still uncharted here.
The Posto de Turismo of Penedono wouldn't know much beyond the sites already listed here.
Dólmen 1 (photo on the left) is much ruined and amounts to two surviving slabs.
Dólmen 2 (see photo underneath) is even more ruined.
A signpost (see photo) says Dólmens 1 & 2 de Lapinhas 800 m. By looking carefully in that direction, you'll clearly see Dólmen 1 : see photo underneath, taken from the road with a 800 mm lens (in March 2014).
