History
Known since time immemorial. Members of EC Gràcia and GE Badalona visit them in May 2015 and carry out the cataloguing work.
Rock shelter no. 1, the one that gives its name to the group, has some artificial holes in its wall. It could be sockets for placing a beam in order to make a roof, but in the absence of further evidence we cannot confirm this.
No. 5 has its entrance partially closed by a wall of stones placed to use it as a temporary refuge.
