Route: on the EN 231, between Paranhos da Beira and Carvalhal da Louça, almost opposite a sawmill; leave the car on the shoulder, and enter a dirt road for 25m; follow the arrow to the right, arriving, after 50m, at a ruined house and the dolmen next to it.
Condition: grandiose in the size of the stones that compose it, but ... I don't know if it will lose that classification, since they have put "masses" / "mortars" to cover some spaces between the stones ... I have never seen such a thing in all the others I have visited; I also don't understand why there is an old tank right in front of the dolmen; unfenced space, with large wild herbs in some places (I liked the olive grove that partially surrounds the dolmen area).

ANTA / ARCA do PENEDO do COM
[Esmolfe, Penalva do Castelo, Viseu, Portugal]
Large dolmen; polygonal chamber of ~3 m and with a corridor of ~4 m; dates back to the late Neolithic period and would have been used again later; the enormous lid may weigh around 15 tons.

[Esmolfe, Penalva do Castelo, Viseu, Portugal]
Large dolmen; polygonal chamber of ~3 m and with a corridor of ~4 m; dates back to the late Neolithic period and would have been used again later; the enormous lid may weigh around 15 tons.
Route: on the paved road Penalva do Castelo - Sezures, follow the arrow on the signs "Necrópole Medieval" and "Anta do Penedo do Com", onto a cobblestone street that quickly leads to the square of the chapel of St. Ildefonso; turning right and next to the chapel, follow the arrow on another sign "Anta do Penedo do Com", returning to the asphalt but narrow; further ahead, another sign at a fork to the left; again, further on, another sign at a fork to the left; shortly after, follow the arrow (straight ahead) to the dirt road; it was possible to drive (carefully) for about 300m, parking next to the dolmen.
Condition: good, with a lid and covered walkway; there are information signs; there is a slight mound and the land is more or less well maintained, but without a complete fence; some litter on the ground (I didn't see a bin).

Route: On the same road as Fojo, 1 km away, there is an arrow on the sign "Lapa do Repilau", pull the car over to the side of the road; on foot, for about 150m, on a path full of weeds and plants, a first information sign appears "Anta do Repilau", from where you can immediately see the second, "Lapa do Repilau", closer to the dolmen/lapa.
Condition: The mound is almost imperceptible; it has a long corridor and, in the widest part, the headstone is quite large (I had never seen anything like it); there is no lid in this part, but the nearby part in the corridor has a covering; the terrain, not fenced, with numerous ferns, but easy to move around in.

Condition: The overall appearance is very well preserved and cared for; there is a protective fence on the side of the path, but I don't know if it surrounds the entire area; Most of the visible structures are located alongside the aforementioned path, allowing for good observation through the network.
