Balma a la Granadella

Granadella, La • Garrigues5m0

A rock shelter at La Granadella, 34 metres wide, with a small pool of 2.5 m³.

Characteristics

Location

On the C-233 road from La Granadella to El Soleràs, once past the ermita de Sant Antoni and just after kilometre 24, follow the track on the right, which is the camí de les Fonts dels Caus; it follows the line of the wind turbines. At 1480 metres we will turn left onto a track that we will follow for 800 metres; at this point we will pass above the cave. We will continue along the track for about 80 metres more until we reach a cultivated plot of land. The rock shelter is about 70 metres to the left, easily visible.
