Caratteristiche

Località

You have to 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 will 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 about 75 metres in height; in about 10 minutes we will be on a stratum where the path passes in front of the various corrals. We have classified the corrals from West to East; therefore this is the sixth corral in an E direction. It is located above the cliff face of the village of Gurp, it is the first one we find going up along the path that comes from Gurp; the entrance opens a few metres above the path, it is on the right and below the cova de Genera.

Morfologia

It is a gallery 20 metres long with dimensions of 6X4 metres; towards the end the section decreases until only a narrow impassable passage remains. At the entrance there are a few small remnant traces of a stone wall.

Altri dettagli

It is possible that it could be the corral they called cova de la Roca.

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 d'en 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.
