Description
Morphology
It is a large sandstone rock overhang, 60 metres wide in the shape of a half-moon, which has gradually eroded the base through water seepage through the rock itself.
Hydrology
When it rains heavily, water leaps down the front, coinciding with the head of a gully tributary to the Masnou gully.
