Caratteristiche

Località

From Casserres, take the road towards l'Espunyola (BV-4131). Just as you leave the village, you will find the football pitch on your left. At the end of it begins a paved track that must be followed for 1500 m, until you find a sign indicating the location of the rock shelter. The path allows cars to drive as far as prudence dictates, and from there we will continue on foot and in a few minutes we will reach the rock shelter.
