Castros and petroglyphs
POUSADELA PETROGLYPHS
Enjoy the coastal view as you explore three groups of ancient petroglyphs and navicular mills. Admire abstract rock carvings and depictions of horses.
At this point of privileged visual domain of the Pedornes coast we have three groups of very interesting prehistoric petroglyphs (between 4000-2000 years before the present), and a fourth group nearby where you can observe several fixed-support navicular mills from a similar period.
Close to where you are, on your left, at the edge of the hill, you have the two main surfaces with rock engravings. The first shows abstract type representations with dimples (dots) and intersecting bundles of lines, as well as some examples of concentric circles, on part of the sloping rock surface. On the next, more horizontal surface, we see several concentric circles and, above all, several representations of horses, one of them clearly mounted. On the same surface there are other reticulated motifs, which, due to the type of groove, are from a later, very possibly historical, period.
