Well-excavated rock shelter by archaeologists in Sant Pere de Ribes, possibly an ancient flint tool workshop.

Characteristics

Location

From Sant Pere de Ribes follow the BV-2111 road towards Olivella. Very soon you must turn off towards the Can Marcer de la Penya residential area and take the track that runs along the left bank of the riera de Jafre. At the point where it crosses to the right hydrographic bank, you must leave the car and continue straight ahead, uphill and pathless, until you see some cliffs where the cavity is located.
