Walled rock shelter at the Granadella, 20 metres wide and 6 metres deep, with a dry-stone wall on the W side and a 3x2 metre chamber on the E side.

Characteristics

Location

From the C-233 road heading towards Bovera, at kilometre 20.19 a track leaves to the left that must be followed; at 190 metres we ignore the turn-off that descends to the right and continue straight along the main track without deviating for 950 metres. The rock shelter is located 50 metres to the left of the path in a N direction and 25 metres further up.
