ROUTE: This paved route starts at the highway from Roses to the Montjoi cove, and leads directly to one of Catalonia’s biggest dolmens, the Creu d’en Cobertella (3000-2700 BC). This dolmen, which features a large gallery grave covered by a four-ton stone slab, was declared a historic/artistic monument in 1964.

Continuing along the path, you will go alongside dry stone walls that divide the different properties and cut up the terraced land in every direction. For hundreds of years, these walls made tending the vines less tedious.

The livestock tracks, which are lined with dry stone walls, cut straight across the land. These tracks were used to move the herds or flocks to greener pastures.

At various points you will see – and, in fact, visit – a number of stone sheds that were used by the shepherds for shelter or to store farming tools.

Further ahead, uou will turn right to reach two more milestones along this megalithic route, the first being the remains of the burnt house, which is the name given to two of the most important menhirs in the area - the Casa Cremada I and Casa Cremada II. There is also a cist grave bearing the same name; like the dolmens, its use was for funerary purposes.

Along the same route you will also visit two well-preserved dolmens: the Llit de la Generala (the general's bed) (3200 BC) and the Cap de l’Home (the man's cape) dolmens.

On the way back, which will take you to the dolmen where you started, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the Roses bay and admire up close the network of walled terraces.
