Caratteristiche

Località

We will leave the village of Vilanova d'Escornalbou by the road that goes to the castle and to the village of l'Argentera; we will find a turn-off on the left that is a dirt track leading to Colldejou. We will continue to a junction of tracks, take the one on the left and continue to the coll de la Desenrocada. Here a path comes out on the left that climbs to the summit of the Desenrocada del Bailon; just as we reach the top a path comes out on the right that passes through a pierced rock that will take us to the balma de la Desenrocada del Bailon.

Descrizione

Morfologia

With a positive rise of 3.5 metres at its entrance, the balma de la Desenrocada has maximum measurements of 9 metres deep by 9.5 metres wide and a height of 5 metres.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. It is thought that Antoni Gaudí, born in Reus and who spent part of his childhood at a farmhouse in Riudoms, was inspired by the alveolar forms that occupy a good part of the relief of the Desenrocada to design the peculiar shapes of the windows and doors of his architectural work.
