Necropolis of Mount Areo, Archaeological site in Carreño, Spain
The Mount Areo Necropolis contains over thirty burial mounds spread across two sectors: Los Llanos and Les Huelgues de San Pablo.
Archaeological surveys in 1990 revealed the presence of multiple burial chambers, including two square structures, a trapezoidal dolmen, and a short corridor dating from 3000 BC.
The burial mounds demonstrate ancient construction methods through their composition of alternating earth and stone layers, representing funeral practices of early communities.
From Gijón, take the AS-19 road toward Avilés until Aboño, then follow the CE-6 road to El Valle to reach the necropolis.
The corridor dolmen structure at Mount Areo represents an uncommon architectural element in the Cantabrian region of northern Spain.
