Location

The rock shelter is located in the municipality of la Quar (Berguedà). From km 37.18 of the C-154 road, an asphalted track heads N, running parallel to the riera de Merlès. After 7 km we find on the left a turn-off leading to the house of les Heures. From here we continue on foot in a W direction, along a path, first through a meadow and then through the woods. From the house to the rock shelter there are about 300 metres.
