Description

Morphology

It has a floor plan measuring 2X8 metres at its base, with a height of one and a half metres at the back and more than 2 metres at the entrance. It has a notable peculiarity: the rock has been eroded and is separated into two blocks on one side.

Other details

It is worth noting that on each side of the rock shelter, on the rock, there are some small climbing routes, nowadays abandoned.

History

The name of the rock shelter has been taken from the name engraved at the foot of the rock of one of the climbing routes.
