Description:
The largest group of dolmens to be found in La Rioja is located in the sierra de Cameros,
Dolmens are collective funeral monuments comprising a chamber delimited by great stone slabs or megaliths and covered by a mound of earth and stones. The burials were made inside the chamber.
The principal Neolithic sepulchres of Cameros are difficult to access and not easy to locate as they are not signposted. The dolmens can therefore only be visited when accompanied by an expert.
The Dolmen of El Collado at El Mallo has been reconstructed, and is signposted from Trevijano.
At San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the village of Peciña, the Dolmen of “la Cascaja” is located.
