On our quest to see bone chapels, we also ran into megaliths. These Celtic stone formations are older than the pyramids.
Whatta deal!
Cromeleque dos Almendres.
This is an oval of 95 megalithic stones stretching down a rough eastward facing slope.
Some still have carvings on them.
They are set in a landscape of cork and olive trees.
It's not an easy entrance...or maybe not even legal...however we powered through.
Tony managed it with no blood spilled.
2 KM away there's the Menhir dos Almendres.
It's quite a trek. We climbed up on the hill and hung onto the fence whenever we met anyone coming out.
And here it is. Right in the middle of someone's cork plantation.
These were ceremonial stones. For crowning a king, or electing a Mayor, maybe of Sea Tac...how appropriate.
