It´s placed in the Mauxo mountains close to Vigo city, Spain. This mountains are very rich in rock engravings. The landscape of Vigo bay from this mountains are impressive.
This engravings are located very near to a place called "Fonte do Sapo" and are known by this name or "Chan Grande". The pictures I´ve upload were taken when the sun was rising, this way the petroghyps are easy to see. The best way to see them is the first and the last hours of the day because the light at this hours fall diagonal and makes them visible. Sometimes I´ve been looking for rock engravings without notice them,because they are very damaged, and when visiting the same place at different hours the sunlight made them visible.
