A 4-metre-deep shelter in Guixers (Solsonès), with a 9-metre-long and one-and-a-half-metre-high entrance, full of livestock dung.

Characteristics

Location

To the north-west of the tip of the ridge where the path from Pont Quebradís to the tower of la Corriu passes, where it changes slope, from the river of Vall to the torrent of Vilacireres. About 200 linear meters. To reach it we will set out from this point on the ridge and in a north-westerly direction at the foot of the cliff we will gradually climb, we will follow a torrent overgrown with vegetation and once past it we will look for a small cliff with the shelter below.

Approximate coordinates without much precision.
