Small worked rock shelter in Llaés (Ripoll), on the same cliff as la Baumassa, about 200 m away.

Characteristics

Location

It is located on the same cliff as la Baumassa, about 200 m away. From there, one must go back to the track and follow it in a Northerly direction until finding a wire fence on our right. From here we will climb until reaching the cliff (no path). Once at the cliff the location of the cavity is difficult, since it is quite hidden by the vegetation.

Morphology

It is a bauma petita, with a width of 30 m and a maximum height of 6 or 7 m. Its maximum depth is 5 m.

Other details

Along the whole length of the rock shelter we find remains of constructions, quite damaged. We can also observe some holes in the wall, which served as sockets for the beams of the roof of the constructions.

History

Known since time immemorial. The last date we have record of inhabitants in la Baumeta is from 1906, when Eduald Torruella Planas died due to peritonitis.
