Between the municipalities of Lena and Aller, in the parish of Boo in Aller, on the Roman road of La Carisa, are the Megaliths of El Padrún, a funerary monument made up of several dolmens, but of which only two remain, although the remains of others can be seen.
The megalithic monument of El Padrún dates back to between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC and was the work of populations without a fixed dwelling, dedicated to hunting and shepherding. The dolmen was a funerary structure, consisting of a chamber in which the body was buried and on top of which a tumulus was built, which in turn was surrounded by two large stones in a vertical position and a horizontal one above them.
In Asturias no human remains have been found in these burials, due, it is believed, to the type of terrain.
Built in: More than 4000 BC.
Free access.
HOW TO GET THERE: going up from the village of Boo to the mountain range that separates Aller from the council of Lena, you will find the megaliths of El Padrún or Cantu les Cruces.
