(ANSA) – MADRID, AUGUST 19 – The summer of drought that is affecting various areas of Spain is also causing side effects: this is, for example, the case of the re-emergence of the megalithic complex known as the Dolmen of Guadalperal, an area of archaeological interest located in the province of Cáceres (west). In fact, various media, including El País, report that the water level of the Valdecañas basin, next to which the Dolmen is located, is now less than 30% of the capacity. In this way, the entire megalithic complex has remained completely uncovered, a phenomenon that has only occurred four more times since this place was found almost a hundred years ago.
As explained by the Spanish government, which in May declared the Dolmen an asset of cultural interest, this archaeological area – renamed by some (in a technically inaccurate way) the ‘Spanish Stonehenge’ – was used as a collective tomb. The origin of this place could date back to about the 5th millennium BC. (HANDLE).
