Granadella, La • Garrigues 7m

Walled rock shelter at the Granadella, 11 metres wide and 7 metres deep, with stone walls and a flat floor.

Characteristics

Location

From the C-233 road towards Bovera, at kilometre 20.19 a track leaves to the left which must be followed; at 190 metres we ignore the turn-off that descends to the right and continue straight along the main track without deviating. Between kilometre 1.300 and 1750 the track makes several very sharp bends; after these we find a large olive grove on our left. On reaching 2.215 kilometres of travel from the road, we turn left crossing the olive grove where we will find a small construction from which the rock shelter can be seen, located about 100 metres to the NE; a height difference of about 30 metres must be overcome.
