Characteristics

Location

Leaving the Granadella along the C-242 road towards Bellaguarda, after kilometre 13, we find a track on the right which we follow, we pass near a large pond, we leave paths on either side and when we have gone 1.7 Qm we find a fork on the right which we follow for 340 metres. The rock shelter is on the left 5 metres from the track, at a lower level and of difficult access.
