In search of the lost dolmen
The Toriñuelo Dolmen is a funerary corridor construction. It is found as it was thousands of years ago, under a mound of earth, today inside the estate of "La Granja". The small mound, covered by grass, has a diameter of approximately 70 meters and was originally perimetered by a ring of stone blocks that has now disappeared.
It has a long corridor about 25 meters long and 1.42 meters high, which goes into the mound to the burial chamber. It is possible that it was decorated with paintings and engravings of which are preserved, barely perceptible, some on the orthostats that make up the walls of the chamber.
