Dolmen del Gigante, Prehistoric dolmen near El Gastor and Montecorto, Spain

The Dolmen del Gigante consists of large vertical stone slabs forming an extended corridor leading to a wide burial chamber at the base of Lagarin Peak.

Dating back to the Copper Age, this megalithic structure served as a communal burial site for multiple clans who inhabited the region during prehistoric times.

The megalithic tomb stands as a testament to ancient funeral practices and architectural techniques employed by early inhabitants of southern Andalusia.

Access to the dolmen requires following a marked trail from La Ladera Recreation Area, starting at the Plaza de Abastos in El Gastor village.

Despite being located within Montecorto municipality boundaries, the primary access route to this archaeological site leads through the village of El Gastor.
