Caratteristiche

Località

From the esplanade of la Falconera (parking area) shortly before km. 16 of the road from Terrassa to Mura, a path sets off following the whole relief of the roca de la Falconera in a N direction along its western side. Almost at its end and towards the O side, a very steep gully descends towards the torrent d'Estenalles. At the head of this gully, on the S side, this rock shelter is located. Access is via a short, somewhat delicate step, which brings us to the rock shelter from the western side.
