Caratteristiche

Località

On the LV-9124 road from la Guàrdia de Noguera to Moror, after kilometre 6.5 you must turn right onto the LV-9125 road, which in less than one kilometre will bring us to Estorm.

From the village, take a path heading E, which starts from the church square and later becomes a wide track descending towards the Llau de la Grallera; shortly before reaching it, follow a narrow path to the left that will lead us to the rock shelter, a route of about 10 minutes from the village.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is a rock shelter more than 30 metres wide and 9 metres deep.

Progressione

From the village, take a path heading E, which starts from the church square and later becomes a wide track descending towards the Llau de la Grallera; shortly before reaching it, follow a narrow path to the left that will lead us to the rock shelter, a route of about 10 minutes from the village.

Altri dettagli

The rock shelter is worked and enclosed, and inside we find the oil mill with all the elements needed for it to function. The press, about 12 metres long, is possibly the most interesting part of the whole; it preserves engraved on it the date 1951, which is the last time it was changed.

Storia

Known since time immemorial, and used as an oil mill, it was in operation until the early sixties of the last century.

The whole rock shelter complex is privately owned; the owners, when they are in the village, place no obstacles to visiting it.
