Small balmes at the Penya del Cucut, Cervelló, opened in basal silicic conglomerates.

Characteristics

Location

From the Can Güell neighbourhood in Torrelles de Llobregat, we will follow the fifth avenue until it crosses the fourth avenue. At this point a broad area is formed where the Can Güell path leaves on the N side; we will follow it for 750 metres, where the track turns left at the same time as we come to a junction. At this point we will leave the vehicle and continue in a N direction along the path on the left. After 200 metres we find on the right a marked footpath that leads to els Castellots and to the Penya del Cucut. The path is at first flat but then a steep descent begins where at some points we find fixed ropes with knots in order to facilitate access. After about 450 metres of route we will arrive at the Penya del Cucut, where we find the balmes.
