A pierced rock shelter long known as la Lluminosa, in the Serra de Cardó (Benifallet), formerly arranged as an access passage to the valley.

Caratteristiche

Località

The pierced rock shelter is in the Serra de Cardó, in Benifallet. From Rasquera one must go up to the Cardó spa, where one can park. One must turn back passing by the ermita de Sant Elies and continue to the path that soon leads to the ermita de la Santíssima Trinitat and from there continue along the camí dels Frares until reaching the Portell de Cosp. On the right starts the path that, on the way to la Roca Foradada, passes by the cova Lluminosa.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Spectacular rock shelter that pierces the crest. Dry stone borders the rock shelter in a zigzag, allowing comfortable access from one part of the ridge to the other.

Progressione

It was formerly arranged as a key passage for access to the valley. Dry stone borders the rock shelter in a zigzag, allowing comfortable access from one part of the ridge to the other. No survey is available, so the speleometric data are approximate.

Storia

Known since ancient times as la Lluminosa to distinguish it from the relatively nearby cave which, being a closed gallery, is known as la Llòbrega. Cited by Faura in his Recull (1909) and by Ferraté in Espeleologia de les comarques tarragonines (1918), although neither gives more data than the name. We know of no specific cataloguing work, although it is very well known among hikers.
