Small rock shelter in front of la Covassa, in Cabacés, 9.70 metres long and of little height, with an interior dome of 5 metres where drips have formed small flowstone.

Characteristics

Location

From Cabacés we will follow the track that runs parallel to the barranc Tancat towards the Foia recreation area. After 1.57 kilometres, on the left of the valley we will see la Covassa, a very large built-up rock shelter. Directly opposite and to the right of the track a path clings to the cliff and in about a hundred metres leads us to the font del Bisbe, and a few metres further on is the cova del Bisbe.
