Location

We will set out from the village of Rocafort along a paved road that is the old path that led to Mura. After 2 km, we will leave the car in a widening that we find on our right, above the Mura stream, to take a path that starts just opposite the parking area. We will continue for about 500 m until a small turnoff that leaves on our left; the path soon disappears and we will continue, without a path, in a NE direction, until we reach the cliff and the rock shelter.

Entrances

Always verify coordinates and access conditions before setting out.
