Caratteristiche

Località

Going up the road that leads to the sanctuary of the Mare de Deu del Mont, 500 metres before reaching Sant Llorenç de Sous, we find the Cingle de Roca Pastora; on the right we find the font of the same name. We go up along its left side, climbing over the fallen blocks of the cingle, and in a few minutes we will reach the foot of the wall where the coves de Roca Pastora are located. One must follow the ledge of the cingle to the right until reaching the rock shelter. Approximate coordinates.

Storia

A rock shelter known and used since ancient times, it is cited in various catalogues without giving specific data. In the rock shelter we find a wall of cut stone, probably from the ancient monastery of Sous (?), which does not appear in a photo by Cèsar August Torras i Ferreri published in 1918 in the Guia del Pirineu Català (II).
