Caratteristiche

Località

From kilometre 9.7 of the BV-5207 road we will take a track on the left, which in 800 metres will bring us to the Collsaplomera, where we will leave the vehicle. From here we will take another track on the left which, in a southerly direction, runs parallel to the cliff along the Puig de les Balmes and which we will have to follow for some 450 metres. The path turns along the base of the puig de les Balmes to continue in a north-westerly direction. It is shortly after this change that we will find the balma dels Bugaders on our right. From this point, the balma de les Piques is 180 metres further on, and the path leads us directly to the central part of the rock shelter. Shortly before we will find a sign indicating the path to the rock shelter.
