In the hills south of the town of Busnela, unusual stones can be found that resemble a dolmen but are not widely accepted as a real one. The formation stands apart from the surrounding landscape, consisting of a large rock serving as a wall and roof, supported by seven large slabs of sandstone.
The structure is located on a high point on the left bank of the Nela river. While it is popularly considered an authentic dolmen, its use as a funerary chamber is doubted because it lacks a tumulus that would have protected it.
To reach the site from Santelices, take the road toward the Northwest leading to Busnela. Shortly after passing the junction toward Ahedo de las Pueblas, the formation can be found to the left of the road.
