The Dolmen of Guadalperal, often referred to as the "Spanish Stonehenge," is an ancient megalithic monument located near the town of Peraleda de la Mata in the province of Cáceres, Spain. Believed to date back to the 4th or 5th millennium BCE, this prehistoric structure consists of large stone slabs arranged in a circular or oval configuration, forming a central chamber that was likely used for burial or ritualistic purposes. The site was submerged underwater due to the creation of the Valdecañas Reservoir in the 1960s, but recent droughts have occasionally exposed the stones, drawing attention and visitors.
