Are you travelling to Estepona and staying at the Gran Hotel Elba Estepona & Thalasso Spa? We suggest you another activity during your stay with us at Costa del Sol.
During the archaeological excavations carried out in the area in 2000, what it is considered as the first aggrupation of megalithic necropolis in Costa del Sol was discovered then. Located in the area of Corominas, in Estepona (Malaga), the dolmens - which are over 5000 years old - have become a tourist attraction given that they lend us the opportunity to travel in time and immerse ourselves in the history of past civilizations. Also, inside the dolmens, burial remains were exhumed, as well as ceramic vases, arrowheads, personal adornments… that we got to know with the pass of time.
The Interpretation Centre of Corominas, is located in Pedregales and was opened in 2007 to hold the found burial remains. Also, the topography of the settlement has been reconstructed, including the five dolmens in their original position.
To complete the exhibition, the centre has also created explanatory panels and glass cabinets with the materials found inside the sepulchres.
Corominas, is one of the most relevant necropolis of our cultural and historic patrimony. Therefore, this space is also used to host other kind of events. Used as a concert venue, this archaeological complex has been the chosen space to record the Israeli singer Liona Gilad's album.
Once a month, the Dolmen Centre of Corominas brings the oportunity to host concerts in this unique setting among dolmens and with its unique acoustics. Next November 4, the Centre will present “La Peña del Ñosko” with its flamenco-rock sound. As well as the performance, there will be a guided tour where music and archaeology will meet to bring us a memorable experience.
