From behind the house of Can Jorba (it can be reached from Collbató – la Vinya Nova or directly from el Bruc) a path sets off in a N direction and climbs the right slope of the torrent del Migdia. About 350 metres after starting the route, when the path begins to descend towards the torrent bed, this rock shelter is found on the left.
