Characteristics

Location

From Santa Maria de Besora we will follow the track that leads to Llaés. From there we will continue to the house of the Teixidor, taking the track that branches off to the right and following it for about 1950 metres until reaching the house of the Burbau (practically disappeared, only the threshing floor, a wall and a bungalow remain). From here a wide path sets off on our left and a few metres further on we will turn right onto a narrow path that will take us directly to la bauma de les Fleus after covering about 500 metres. From the rock shelter one must head East until reaching the base of the cliff. La bauma de la Fumada is about 300 m away.

Description

Morphology

Rock shelter 50 metres wide, but of little depth (4.5 m) and height (between 5 and 6 m).

Other details

In the right-hand part the kitchen would have been found, since it is the most smoke-blackened and recessed part. It seems that it would have been a temporary dwelling.

History

Known since time immemorial.
