Characteristics

Location

Driving along the C-55 road from Olesa de Montserrat to Monistrol, at kilometre 7.1 you must take a turn-off to the right that passes by the old spa of La Puda and follow the track —junctions with signs— until reaching Can Tobella (Can Tovella, on the ICC map). Past the last house (Can Benet), 80 metres along and to the left of the track, a well-marked path starts. Follow it for about 500 metres until you come to a cliff in the middle of the torrent. Caves no. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are on a terrace halfway up and very close to one another.

Morphology

It is the largest rock shelter of the group of cavities. The whole floor is covered by a good thickness of clay sediments.

History

Cavities known since time immemorial by the people of the area. It is not, however, until the beginning of 1972 that members of the Barcelona groups SE Gelera and GE Pedraforca carry out a campaign of cataloguing and study of the group of cavities in the area.
