Coves del Pascol

A group of three cavities named Coves del Pascol, excavated in the bottom of a torrent tributary of that of Cal Biel, in the same level of strata and relatively close to one another.

Cova Nº1 del Pascol: Large rock shelter in the shape of a “U”, centred beneath the torrent's drop, it has a porch 40 metres wide and 6 metres high, its maximum route is 10 metres. The rock shelter has 2 platforms at different levels joined by a ramp with a 2 metre difference in elevation; in the W zone of the lower platform, there is a small concavity of scant route and height.

Cova nº 2 del Pascol: Small cave opened 2.5 metres above the base of the cliff, for which it is necessary to do a small climb. The dimensions of the entrance are 2X1.5 metres, which do not allow us to stand upright during the 3 metres of route that the cavity has.

Cova nº3 del Pascol: Cave opened above the base of the cliff with two connected mouths. Access is via the mouth of larger dimensions, a small climb being necessary, since it is located 2.5 metres from the base of the cliff; on the other hand, if access is via the smaller mouth, a ramp of steep incline gives access to the whole in an easier way. From the small mouth one advances initially to a chamber of reduced dimensions, and a crawlway connects with the chamber on the side, of larger dimensions. This chamber connects directly with the larger mouth and has several concavities of scant route and height. The total route is 18 metres.

To access la Cova nº 2 del Pascol, a small climb is necessary. To access la Cova nº3 del Pascol, if access is via the larger mouth, a small climb is necessary; if access is via the smaller mouth, a ramp of steep incline gives access to the whole in an easier way.
