Dolmen de Soto, Neolithic dolmen in Beas, Spain

The stone structure features a 21-meter passage leading to a burial chamber, with 64 standing stones forming the northern and southern walls.

Armando de Soto Morillas discovered the burial site in 1922 while planning to build a house on his estate called La Lobita.

The eight bodies found in fetal positions within the chamber provide evidence of ancient funeral practices, accompanied by daggers and marine fossils.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through guided tours from Beas, with parking facilities and information panels available at the entrance.

During the equinox, sunlight enters through the western entrance, illuminating the passage and chamber in what may represent ancient beliefs about rebirth.
