Balma de la Figuera

Rock shelter 53 m long by a maximum depth of 9.5 m, set down in a corner of the torrent, which makes it difficult to see. The floor is relatively flat over much of it. We observe a level of ancient sediments partially eroded, which gives rise to a small step in the western half of the shelter. The ceiling has sections blackened by fire having been made there.

Once on foot, we will follow the left-hand fork, along which the GR-1 passes. The path makes a few bends in order to skirt some fields and, descending, gradually approaches the torrent de Sant Joan. When it seems we are almost upon it, we will leave the path, cross the torrent over a small waterfall and see that a not very marked little path begins that goes downstream along its right-hand hydrographic side. This little path will lead us directly to the shelter, very hidden in a corner a short distance from the torrent bed.
