  The history of the first inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, the Iberians and their remains (tombs, ancient cities) is described and illustrated. With the help of GPS and Google Maps coordinates, all sites described in this guide can be easily visited, making history comes alive and opening up the magic world of ancient societies.
