Cova de l'Homdedéu

Balma de 6 metres de fons a Cabacés (Montsant).

Cabacés • Priorat6m0

A 6-metre-deep rock shelter in Cabacés (Montsant), 15 metres wide and 6.20 metres high, known since time immemorial.

Characteristics

Location

Almost upon entering Cabacés, we find an asphalted track on the right, with signs that lead us to the hermitage and the font de la Foia. Once we have arrived and positioned ourselves in the picnic area of the spring, we will head a few metres to the W, climbing up to some rocks that close off this picnic area, where the rock shelter is located.
