Esquerda Paral.lela del Pas dels Lladres

The Fondal de Valldellós is in the municipality of Mediona. It is formed by the collapse of a limestone cliff that has created an exceptional chaos of blocks, among which a multitude of small concavities have formed, of little speleological value but of archaeological interest.

The whole spot is dominated by two singular elements: the needle of Valldellós, a monolith that presides over the hollow, and the pass of the thieves or of the fox, which, forming a concealed channel, allows the cliff to be easily surmounted.

Archaeologically characterised as an eremitic-cultural cave nucleus, it is a spot resulting from the decomposition and retreat of the cliff, where a tumbling of blocks creates a small labyrinth of passages and dens.

The Esquerda is parallel to the Pas del Lladres and is found just as the Pas dels Lladres is finished being surmounted, a pass that allows access to the upper part of the cliff.
