Small rock shelter south of the Roca dels Corrals, above the Gurp cliff, 16 metres wide and with a maximum depth of 6 metres.

Characteristics

Location

Go to the village of Gurp (Tremp), cross the village and before reaching the Raval you will find a large parking area. From here, head back towards the cluster of houses; just as you arrive, on the right, a wide ascending path leads to the water tanks. Behind these begins the path with yellow paint marks that climbs the cliff in zigzags for some 75 metres of height; in about 10 minutes you will be on a ledge where the path passes in front of the various corrals. We have classified them from West to East, so this is the third in an E direction, and it is located above the cliff of the village of Gurp.

Description

Morphology

Rock shelter 16 metres wide, with a maximum depth of 6 metres. It is enclosed by dry-stone walls that are quite dilapidated; inside there is a small tree.

History

Known since time immemorial. Initially, before the construction of the village of Gurp, they were very probably used as dwellings; later they came to be used as corrals. In the 1860 census they already appear mentioned as corrals. Some of the names of the corrals are known, cova d'en Peixeco, cova d'en Genera or Geneva, cova d'en Muntaner, cova de la Roca, cova d'en Sisco Macià, but we have not been able to identify which corral each of the names corresponds to.
