Description

Morphology

These are two rock shelters separated by a fissure, where we find a small ascending hole, 40 cm by 60 cm and 2.6 m long. The left-hand rock shelter has dimensions of 8 m in width by 4.6 in depth and 5 m in height. The right-hand one is 5 m long by 3 m in depth and a height of 4.5 m. The fissure that separates them is 1 m wide by 2.5 m long.

Hydrology

The small ascending hole, 40 cm by 60 cm and 2.6 m long, is where the water used to flow and today is completely dry.
