Characteristics

Location

From la Cova or Abric de Cabrafeixet we follow the path and after a few metres it forks to the right, gaining a few metres in height, up to the base of the cliff where we find another shelter in a rock balma. The main path enters the recess of l'Estrada. Large rock gendarmes give the corner an appearance somewhere between mysterious and unsettling on foggy days. On the cliff, beneath a large ivy we find the first of the prehistoric shelters. A few metres further on and also hidden beneath the cliff we find the Cova de la Mallada.
