Hmm, can't find this on any of the usual antiquity sites. Where exactly is it? It doesn't resemble any of the classic mamoas which makes me wonder if its a (relatively) modern construct. There appears to be plaques on each of the stones, or at least modern square-cut recesses, what were they about? It would be unusual to cut prehistoric monuments to affix explanatory plaques.
Time for Google Translate, but it seems that this a modern grouping of stones then.The curious, and those with faster Spanish than mine might like to peruse this site http://cromlechpirenaico.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/megalitos-modernos-y-falsos-4.html
The implication is that this is indeed a modern construct una megalito moderno y falso.
But then I had a 'history' teacher who claimed that Stonehenge was built by the Romans to 'trap' Druids.

I found the spot was near 42.373593,-3.499205 but I couldn't find any trustworthy page on the web that said what they were for or what was written on the plaques. I stopped and read them but I just can't remember what they said.The stones are located slightly more than halfway from Ages to Atapuerca. They are a field adjacent as you walk down the paved road to Atapuerca.
Here in Wales there are a lot of modern stone circles. Until fairly recently it was the custom to build one each year near the site of the National Eisteddfod - the main Welsh-language cultural festival which has a lot of "druid" ceremony attached. This event moves to different towns around the country each year. These days they use portable and lightweight fibreglass rocks to build a temporary circle instead
