El Centro de Interpretación del Megalitismo de Gorafe

Site Type: Museum
Country: Spain (Andalucía)
Visited: Would like to visit
El Centro de Interpretación del Megalitismo de Gorafe submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jan 2013. The centrepiece of the centre is a huge half sphere, reflected in mirrors so it appears a whole sphere, in the centre of dark room, with a spiral staircase around the room's interior. Images are projected on to this sphere. The juxtaposition of something so sci-fi looking in a small rural community is very striking!

Difficult to know where to start !. Visit Gorafe absolutely- the landscape is phenomenal, the collection of dolmens unique. if you can get the leaflet from the visitor centre (now open at 12 And 5 (not 12-5) you can do planned walks although only about 40 are visible - each one numbered on the ground. Thevisitor centre absolutely go but it is bizarre - huge amount of money spend and difficult to describe I won't spoil it but do support them !! Directions to the amazing local petroglyphs were vague so check the route first at 12 before you try to find them - we didn't, sadly.

Log Text: This site is all the more amazing because there’s no signposting or tour and you just have to wander round the rock shelters hunting down the paintings.
Once you are in the right place ( put penas de cabreras in google maps) you can park near a path and head up the hill. You find the shelters eventually.
The obvious ones are on wikipedia etc - the ‘ leaf’ or centipede, the comb, the figures but there are about 30 plus shelters.
Really worth a visit - idyllic spot.

Log Text: This cave is phenomenal and worth visiting. Quality of the paeliolithic to Neolithic rock art takes the breath away - from figurative to abstract ( or seemingly abstract) images. Some black lined combs which look like some form of counting.
Tour is 10 e three times a day - ring ahead to book but we only had 10 in February.
its better to experience the images when you get there but have posted postcard pics nonetheless.
