A 9-metre-long rock shelter in Roses.

Characteristics

Location

From Roses we head towards Cala Montjoi; on reaching Pla de Can Marès we turn left onto a track that leads towards Coll del Bombo, where we find the road from Roses to Cadaqués. Shortly after passing the Tomba del General, which is a dolmen located on the right of the track, right next to it and well signposted, we find some black walls on the right; the rock shelter is at the end of these walls.
