G	Graf Starkall on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not much to see here ... and when you like to get inside the burial chambers you have to make yourself very small.
D	Desmond Moore on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very quite and relaxing place with great historical stone age burial mounds. Met John who works there. Very friendly man who took us for cofee in cafe opposite. Thanks John for making our visit more pleasant.
M	Mark Taylor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fantastic leap to the past, well preserved and presented, and very easy to get around; investigations are still ongoing, but what is already available is fascinating. The museum also provides loads of useful information. Ample parking, easy walking and/or wheeled transport-friendly. Well worth a visit to see how your ancestors lived in ancient Portugal.
H	Hein Mulder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ancient bureal site. 3 temples where departed people are brought to reunite with the forfathers.
H	Heide Schach on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice and well presented. Informative film available too. The boards are not easy to read though. A bit weathered :-)
S	Stine W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a lovely time visiting the site. The price was inexpensive and was very interesting. The introductory video was informative and helped us put the site in context. I would have liked to have even more information and the ability to see more of the monuments or maybe even some artefacts. The overall monument is much bigger than monuments 7 and 9 and it might have been interesting to understand (or maybe even walk to see) where the others are in relation to these. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.
D	D S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little museum and dolmens. They are smaller, I could not enter but smaller people could. One is blocked no entry. 2€.
C	Chris F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Over 65, so only €1 to gain access. Small site but quite interesting, reminiscent of sites in the Shetland Islands. Scary when you understand where the sea levels were in those times.
