Balma obrada a la Granadella

Granadella, La • Garrigues8m0

A rock shelter in the Granadella, with a half-moon overhang and a modern enclosure inside.

Characteristics

Location

Leaving the Granadella on the C-233 road towards the Soleràs, on reaching kilometre 26.265 we continue to the right along a track where, at 770 metres and on our left, we find the access to the controlled landfill of the Granadella; we must enter the landfill and follow the track to the end (425 metres), where we will find the cavity.

To be able to visit it, we must ask the town council for the access key to the controlled deposit.

Description

Morphology

The overhang is 3 to 4 metres thick, shaped like a half-moon, with a width of 34 metres by 8 metres deep and 4 to 5 metres high. Inside it there is an enclosure of modern construction, 6 by 10 metres, with a roof and a sheet-metal door. In front of the cave there is a metal water tank 8 metres in diameter. The floor was excavated to gain height.

The whole sector of the back has a rock step that would be the level the rock shelter had before it was emptied. The right-hand part is flat, with a large flat block standing out and an area full of vegetation next to the tank that makes passage difficult.

History
