Log Text: 5 minutes walk from the GIP-6821 main road. Forms part of a 1-2km signposted circular walk (including Menhir d'en Llach and/or Paradolmen del Senglar).
"Pedra Sobre Alta" translates to "Stone on top of another" and you can see why from the photos. Owing to lack of time and overgrowth of bushes and trees I was not able to find the corridor entrance to the dolmen itself.
Menhir Caigut

Menhir Caigut submitted by kalcoatl on 26th May 2018. Site of the Menhir Caigut, near Tossa de Mar, Catalunya. If not removed, the menhir is possibly the horizontal stone leaving the left of the picture!

Log Text: Site approx 30 minutes walk from the GIP-6821 main road (but mostly uphill back), accessible by off-road vehicle along forest trails (the local 4x4 tours visit an excellent viewpoint overlooking the coast 30m away).
The name translates to "Fallen stone" so it is no surprise to not find it vertical.
A hand-painted sign visible from the path says "sa porta el pedra", literally "the stone door", but equally likely to be badly spelt: "s'ha porta el pedra" meaning "the stone has been taken". The sign points upwards (or ahead) but I could not locate anything else resembling a menhir there. To the left of said sign is a menhir-shaped rock on its side, roughly coinciding with the GPS coordinates.
