Balma dels Lladres

Balma a la riera de Mediona

Mediona • Alt Penedès9m4m

A 9-metre-deep rock shelter with +4.60 metres of elevation gain on the Mediona stream, known since olden times and in an area frequented by climbers.

Characteristics

Location

Located on Carrer del Molí de Sant Joan de Mediona. We will follow the Camí de Can Verdaguer (paved road); after 2.2 kilometres, at a widening of the road, there is a turn-off to the left that in 200 metres will take us to the Castell de Mediona, where we will park in front of the Tower. From here a path leaves that passes behind the Castle and descends to the Mediona stream. We must go up the stream until reaching the rock shelter, clearly visible on the hydrographic right; the route is one kilometre from the parking area.
