Description
Morphology
It is a rock shelter raised halfway up the wall of the right-hand slope at the end of the torrent de cal Pelegrí. It has a mouth 14 m wide by 3 m high and 11 m deep, with a gentle slope towards the outside. The ceiling is rounded by wind erosion, giving capricious shapes.
Progression
There are two options for reaching it. From below, climbing up the sloping wall with the risk of falling, or along the path that comes from the balma dels Falciots, or also from the rasa de cal Pelegrí with difficulty.
Other details
Here the goats and roe deer are the masters and lords of this place.
