Description

Morphology

The second of the shelters is the largest, with dimensions of 15 x 14 m at the base by 2 m average height, varying greatly depending on the spot, divided into two parts; a large block stands out in the middle of the east side. It is 14 metres deep.

Progression

To reach it we will set off from the path that goes from the Pont Quebradís to the Torre de la Corriu, and once we have crossed the torrent de cal Pelegrí, about 50 m ahead, at the spot where there is a view of the valley of Vilacireres, coinciding with a large block of conglomerate rock on the right of the path with a waymark sign for the path, we will climb through the middle of the forest heading north-west until we reach the foot of the cliff and with a short scramble of 3 m we will climb up to these shelters, in about 5 minutes.

History

Known since time immemorial.
