Large rock shelter with a spring in les Masies de Roda (Osona), at the foot of a cliff, with a basin built to collect the water.

Characteristics

Location

We will set out from Roda de Ter along a paved track that begins at the entrance to the village, which leads to Tavèrnoles and which we will have to leave halfway to reach the Salou farmhouse. From here we will continue west along the track that passes behind the farmhouse, and a few hundred metres further on a path comes out on the right that follows the foot of a cliff; we will soon find the balma del Mas Salou.
