Arlobi Menhir

The Arlobi Menhir is a megalithic monument in Gorbea Natural Park, Zuia, Álava, Basque Country, Spain. Discovered on 20 March 2004 by three archaeologists, it dates to the Albian Age and is made of stones sourced from the southern slopes of Gorbea, Odoriaga and Usoteguieta mountains [1]. It is the most visited tourist attraction in the park due to its rarity, as menhirs are extremely scarce in Álava where dolmens predominate as funerary monuments [1].
