Balmes de les Puelles

Rock shelter no. 1 de les Puelles: a small rock shelter measuring 11 metres wide and 1.5 metres high at most. The overhang is irregular; two large blocks fallen from the ceiling occupy part of the floor of the cavity. It has a small stone wall between the blocks.

Rock shelter no. 2 de les Puelles: rock shelters numbers 2 and 3 are located beneath rock overhangs produced by the erosion and dissolution of the soft earth and rock of the lower part, which has left these hollows in the crag. It is a small cavity, with a flat floor, 25 metres wide, which we consider to be quite considerable given the terrain in which it is excavated and the geography of the region where it is located.

Rock shelter no. 3 de les Puelles: it has a flat floor and also a considerable width of 24 metres.

Coveta de les Puelles: a small cavern of short extent (1.5 m). Beside the entrance, which is just over one metre high, there is an engraving made with a pointed object on which one reads “Año 1938”.

A few metres from the small cave is the so-called Bassa del Roc, an old large basin built beneath a rock, with all its walls of dry stone. For 400 years it supplied water to the village of les Puelles, until the beginning of the 20th century.
