Minor rock shelter in Sant Llorenç del Munt, 28 m long, 9 m deep and 8 m maximum height, formerly used as a livestock pen.

Characteristics

Location

From the BV-1221 road that climbs to the Coll d'Estenalles, we will leave the car at km 4 (Barata car park) and continue on foot along the dirt track that leads to Can Pèlecs. We will pass beside the pit of Can Pèlecs and from there a path heads NE that will bring us close to the cliff. We find the rock shelter, very visible, in front of us.
