We will set out from the village of Montmajor via the plaça de l'Ajuntament, take the camí del Pujol and turn left onto a forest track that will bring us to cal Sabata de Dalt. From here, the rock shelter is clearly visible. We will have to descend, with no path, to reach it.

Morphology

We find the cavity half overrun by vegetation; it measures 48 m in length by 8 m in depth and a maximum height of 8 m.

Progression

We will have to descend, with no path, to reach it.

Other details

Inside, five square beam holes can be seen, very well preserved. In the same spot there is a cylindrical cistern, cut into the rock of the floor, 1.70 m in diameter and 2 m deep. This cistern communicates with the outside through two cylindrical holes at its base. Remains of walls for keeping livestock are also visible.
