Anta Grande Do Zambujeiro

We visited the Anta Grande do Zambujeiro--The Big One--in 2010. It is the largest of dolmens known, so far. Anywhere. In 2010, it was raining, and getting to the anta was a kilometer-long slog on a muddy track. Vicki stayed behind, guarding the camper, while I slogged. See http://roadeveron.blogspot.pt/2010/01/upping-anta.html. The big difference for 2017 is that a) she got to see it, and b) there were bodies to provide scale, perspective. Important for questions of size. Zambujeiro is the biggest. So far as I could see, the site had not changed in these seven years.

The problem with Alentejo is that there are rocks--megaliths-- everywhere, and
everywhere you look, you see something that is or could be or was, a dolmen

After a brief hike, we're there

And in English too

So large, so important, it's under a cover

For scale; only, this is just the little bit

Peering inside; these puppies are probably 5
meters high

Outlier of some sort, dressed; or maybe just another megalith randomly laying
about in this megalithic wonderland
