Dolmens of Gorafe

The Megalithic Park of Gorafe contains one of Europe's largest concentrations of Neolithic burial monuments, with over 240 dolmens spread across the dramatic badlands of the Guadix-Baza basin. These structures date back approximately 5,000 years to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The park is organized into several signposted routes, including Hoyas del Conquín and Llano de Olivares, showcasing diverse megalithic architecture within a striking desert landscape.
