Large walled rock shelter at the Granadella (les Garrigues), 82 m wide by 13 deep, with a dry-stone wall, wooden door and interior structures.

Characteristics

Location

From the Granadella we will follow the C-233 road towards the Soleràs as far as the chapel of Sant Antoni. From km 24.13 it is necessary to continue along the track that begins on the right (Camí de les Figueres). After covering 1780 m we will reach the bassa de l'Aran and here we will turn left. Shortly afterwards we will reach the mas de l'Aran, which is left on the left; it is necessary to continue along the track (in increasingly worse condition) that reaches the cave, which is quite visible.

Description

Morphology

Large cavity measuring 82 m wide by 13 deep.

Other details

It has a long dry-stone wall that closes off the cavity; the rustic wooden door is preserved and the interior is divided by another transverse wall; neither of the two reaches the ceiling. Inside we find a table and some stone benches of considerable size and, attached to the wall, the stone structure of a chimney. At one end there are two tractor trailers, one of which is a cistern.
