Location

Following the same route as to go to the Avenc d'Ancosa (La Llacuna; Torrebusqueta; coll del Corral; convent d'Ancosa), once at the corral near the ruins of the convent, follow for about 500 metres a path that goes in a NW direction, heading towards the head of a small hollow that begins steep and wild. The shelter is on the right-hand slope and halfway up the cliff.

Very approximate coordinates.
