Log Text: Supposedly the 'cathedral' of dolmens, the Dolmen de Dombate was looking very sad when visited in 2008. 'Protected' by wooden shutters and concrete posts, it was under cover in a makeshift marquee.
I believe things are now much improved, with visitor centre and interpretation etc., but for charm and atmosphere, there are much better sites in Galicia
