Description

Morphology

It is a rock shelter 30 metres wide, 9 metres high and 11 metres deep, with a completely flat ceiling blackened with soot. On the eastern side it is stepped with sandstone and two small springs, while the western side has a steep slope and at the end there is a large block of conglomerate rock; it has a drop of +9 metres.

Progression

To reach it we must first follow the forest track that descends to Capdevila. Halfway along the ridge, this changes direction and we will continue along the ridge, following the abandoned path that leads us to the rappel de la Trona and the Tossal de l'Àliga. We will continue along a faint path that descends a rock step and reaches the rua de la Cabreta. We will continue descending slowly along a wide slope with some centenarian oak specimens.

At the end we will cross a gully and a few metres further on, on the left, we will find a small path that climbs. We will follow the faint path with a steep slope and we will have to use orientation to finish climbing to the foot of the crag where we will find the rock shelter.
