A set of two rock shelters in Sant Sadurní d'Osormort (Osona), known since ancient times and archaeologically excavated.

Characteristics

Location

We will set out from Folgueroles along the N141b road, heading towards Vilanova de Sau; when we pass through the tunnel de la Mina, a dirt track leaves to the right that leads to the Santuari de Sant Llorenç del Munt. We will follow the track along a turn-off to the left until very close to the sanctuary, on a cliff face heavily covered by vegetation, in a small clearing we find the rock shelters of la l’Espluga Nova.
