Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Spain (Aragón)
Visited: Yes on 24th Dec 2017
Aguas Tuertas Dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 24th Dec 2017. From hikepyrenees.
In an area called Aguas Tuertas (twisted waters) between the valleys of Hecho and Canfranc is a large flat col that a stream meanders through giving the area it’s name. A dolmen stands at the col in a fabulous location and although it’s only small most people say it’s the prettiest in the region. It’s dated back to 3000 BC and legends say the dolmen is home to the spirits of the region that control access across the pass.
