Description

Morphology

The fourth rock shelter has a base of 8 x 4 m with an average height of 2 m, divided into three fairly equal parts.

Progression

To reach it we will start 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 an identifying sign of the path, we will go up through the middle of the forest in a north-westerly direction until we reach the foot of the cliff and with a short scramble of 3 m we will climb up to these rock shelters, in about 5 minutes. From the third to the fourth chamber there is no problem in passing through.

Other details

The boxwood vegetation blocks visibility.

History

Known since time immemorial.

Bio

We will also find swallow nests and on the ground droppings of the lost goats that roam these parts.
