Characteristics

Location

From Bovera, follow the Bellaguarda path that runs alongside the Vall de Bovera. After 1850 metres, you will pass in front of the balma de la Vall Major. From here, continue for 2300 metres (ETRS89 coordinates 306373 – 4577430) and take a turnoff to the left until the next junction to the left, which you also take to the end of the track, at the E end of an olive grove (ETRS89 coordinates 306865 – 4577691). Continue on foot along a path heading NE for a little more than one hundred metres, where the path turns towards the N; after 100 metres you will find the cova nº 3 del Moro. From here, continue up the Vall de la Cova del Moro for about 170 metres, where you will find the Cova del Basté a few metres to the left.

Description

Morphology

It is a small rock shelter measuring 4 metres wide, 6 metres deep and 1.5 metres high at the mouth. The floor has a positive slope towards the interior of 3 metres, so it offers no space to be used, not even for storing farm tools.

History

Known in the area since long ago.
