Caratteristiche

Località

Go to the village of Gurp (Tremp), cross the village and before reaching the Raval you will find a large parking area. From here we head back towards the cluster of houses; just as we arrive, on the right, a wide ascending path leads us to the water tanks. Behind these begins the path with yellow paint marks that climbs the cliff in zigzags some 75 metres in height; in about 10 minutes we will find ourselves on a stratum where the path passes in front of the various corrals. We have classified them from West to East, so this is the last one we will come across, which is on the right hydrographic slope of the barranc de Grau.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. Initially, before the construction of the village of Gurp, they were very probably used as dwellings; later they came to be used as corrals. In the 1860 census they already appear cited as corrals. Some of the names of the corrals are known, cova d'en Peixeco, cova de Genera or Geneva, cova d'en Muntaner, cova de la Roca, cova d'en Sisco Macià, but we have not been able to identify which corral each of the names corresponds to.
