Description

Morphology

It is of short extent, and beside it there is a fallen rock leaning against the wall that forms a kind of tunnel.

Other details

Josep Fatjó i Gené in his book “Història de l'escalada a Montserrat” relates that formerly, because of the difficulties of reaching the climbing areas, it was usual to spend the night on the mountain; any rock shelter was used, and the cova de la Partió was one of them.

History

Known since time immemorial.
