Small rock shelter on the Aigua de Valls river, in Guixers, 14 metres long, 5 metres deep and 2 metres average height.

Characteristics

Location

On the right bank of the Aigua de Valls river. The path that goes from the pont Cabradís to the Torre de la Corriu and crosses the torrent de Vilaciceres passes in front of it, somewhat unnoticed. On the east side, below the crag, there is a small needle, on the same bank of the river.

Approximate coordinates to be reviewed.

Description

Morphology

It is a small rock shelter 14 metres long, 5 metres deep and 2 metres average height. We would highlight the fairly flat, blackened ceiling and the back wall. In the middle of the floor there is a small collapse from the ceiling.

Hydrology

The back wall has small springs of water that give it a little contrast with the rest of the colour of the walls.

History

Known since ancient times in the area.
