Characteristics

Location

We will set out from the village of la Bisbal de Falset along the C-226 road; between km 34 and 35 we will find a paved track on the right. We will go up it until we find the first turning on the left, which is a dirt track that climbs parallel to the torrent. It will bring us to a col; here we will take a path that will bring us close to the cliff, where we will find the large rock shelter and the upper holes hidden by the scrub. We must move with great care so as not to fall into these two holes.
