Location

Located at the cemetery of La Febró, we will follow the T-704 road towards La Febró for 115 metres; from the left-hand side a path sets off towards the font del Bassi, we will follow it for one kilometre, until we find a small trail on the left that, climbing the slope, heads in the opposite direction to the one we were going; we will follow this trail for 130 metres, which will bring us to the rock shelter.
