Characteristics

Location

Small rock shelter on the Morisca cliff, at l'Estartit (Baix Empordà).

From l'Estartit we will follow the camí de la Torre Ponça (this path is closed to vehicles during the summer); before reaching the Torre Ponça we will turn right onto a paved road until we reach a crossroads already on the plain, we will follow the road to the left until we reach the third turning on the right; this path leads to the cala Pedrosa and the Cala Ferriol, but if travelling by vehicle it is better to ignore this path and continue along the road 75 metres further on, where we will follow the track on the right that heads towards l'Escala; after covering 1,300 metres, at this point we will turn right for 50 metres, where we will link up with a track that we will follow to the right; after 400 metres we will reach a crossroads, where the path indicated earlier but not recommended for vehicles also leads. We will continue to the left until a crossroads where there is a little space to leave the vehicle. We will continue to the right along the path that descends in the direction of the Cala Pedrosa; we will soon find on the left a faint trail that sets off level, but it soon turns right and descends steeply to overcome the drop in the terrain and continues again to the left until reaching the wall of the cliff; the trail continues descending along the base of the cliff; this passage becomes narrower and narrower until almost at the end it climbs a little to leave us at the mouth of the Cau dels Horts de la Pedrosa, just in front of la Foradada in the golf de la Morisca.

We continue traversing on a slight ascent using ledges until reaching the bauma d'en Narcís, which is located precisely halfway between the Cau dels Horts de la Pedrosa and the Pou d'en Narcís.
