Small rock shelter in the barranc de Solito, in la Ràpita, known since long ago and used until recent times.

Characteristics

Location

The rock shelter is located in the barranc de Solito, in la Ràpita. From Sant Carles de la Ràpita one must find, from the N-430, the track that climbs toward Mata-redona while going up the barranc de Solito. Once past the recreational area of la Mundana, a short distance away, there is a widening of the track where the car can be left. From this point one must go down along the left slope of the barranc and about 10 m above the streambed, in a sector quite overgrown with scrub, the rock shelter is found.
