Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro

Neat little stop on our road trip! Worth the detour if you are driving through!

Must see if you have never seen one. But don't just show up. Book a guided tour to take you here and a couple other places. It was one of the best activities we did in Portugal.

Largely complete dolmen. You can walk round it and look in the top thanks to the terrain. Track to drive up is rough but not nearly as bad as at Almendres Cromlech.

While visiting the other menhirs you can visit this one, this is the biggest one. This was a place where the dead were buried. You can't enter it though (and it's not as big as you would think it would be) for safety reasons. You can walk around it and watch inside from the top, but it's just empty. It's located a bit remotely and the road leading to it is really a crater landscape with deep pits and many rocks. The location where it's situated is pretty cool and desolate.

Brilliant place
