In the far south of Spain, you'll find the ancient dolmen de La Giganta, a significant example of megalithic architecture from the 2nd millennium B.C.

In the far south of Spain, through winding roads and sleepy hill towns, you'll come across Ronda, a centuries-old city with a rich past and breathtaking views. It's best known for its deep chasm, El Tajo, slicing the town in two. But slip off the beaten path and you'll find another piece of local history: the dolmen de La Giganta. Discovered during the Eneolithic period, around the 2nd millennium B.C, it stands as a significant example of megalithic architecture in Andalucía.
