Pena Molexa, Ancient megalithic site in O Val Narón, Spain.
The megalithic monument consists of large rocks stacked upon each other, creating a natural formation that marks astronomical alignments.
This Celtic sanctuary holds archaeological significance, with evidence suggesting its use as a ritual site connected to lunar observations during summer solstices.
Local residents perform theatrical recreations of traditional legends near the megalith during the summer solstice, featuring tales of enchanted beings.
Two marked circuits lead to the megalith: a 5-kilometer basic trail and a 12-kilometer extended route, both starting at the Val Cooperative parking area.
The stone formation aligns with the full moon rising during the summer solstice in the metonic year, occurring every 19 years.
