I sort of feel I ought to give four stars ? , it is a UNESCO World Heritage, but it is frankly not particularly impressive. We stopped by on our way to Rute, it was a nice break, but otherwise nothing much to write home about. Perhaps a keen student of neolithic / prehistoric Spain ?? will see it differently, but as a plain tourist .... Entrance is free of charge, but don't forget to go to the museum first to pick up your free tickets.

If you like Dolmens, you have to go there. Since I was on Malta several times for the there even under-earth-megalithic-temple which is called Hypogaeum in Valletta, Menga Dolmen was a must. Awesome how a 180 ton Megalith could be brought there with only men force. Watch it and feel the magic, also from the magic mountain that can be seen from the temple's entrance.

This is a beautiful historic site with amazing views and worth the visit. I'm sad to give it such low stars but only because one of the female staffers made my boyfriend and I very uncomfortable. She watched us the entire time we were in the second cave, always near us. After 2 minutes of this she told us "I know you like to touch things but you can't touch anything in here," in Spanish which was incredibly strange. We told her we would just leave and she followed us out, staring as we walked away. The space in these caves is very small and because of her behavior I wasn't able to enjoy the site or have room to take pictures.

A hidden gem on the outskirts of antequerra that is definitely worth the visit. Staff gave a warm welcome and were genuinely pleased to give advice. The history of the discovery in the museum was outstanding. You have to visit and best of all it is free.

Although not strictly speaking a museum, a visit to the Dolmen fe la Menga will be remembered by any visitor to this megalithic monument. This giant funeral hall of over 4000 years is one of the best examples of prehistoric art
