Description

Morphology

Rock shelter 8 metres deep. It is smaller and lower than no. 1, but it passes through the rock and comes out beside the same path by which we descend.

Progression

To reach it, we will descend over the rock itself, in an E direction, beside the holm oaks and box trees. Further down, we will soon find a small abandoned path. We will find a junction of trails; we will follow the left one, descending the crag itself with great caution. The path turns to the left, levelling out through a small gully. Below the same wall, on the left, we will see the rock shelter.

History

The only data we know about the cavity are those provided by Salvador Codina, who explored it in 2003.
