Caratteristiche

Località

We will leave the village of Castellbell i el Vilar along the B-122 road that leads to the village of Rellinars, we will take a track that branches off to the left between Km 20 and Km 19, the path descends to cross the riera de Rellinars, then continues climbing and crosses the torrent de les Pasteres, and just here we will find a very overgrown path that within a few metres will bring us to the small cliff where the rock shelter and the hole of la Foranca are located.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The rock shelter has dimensions of 13m in length by 3.50m in depth and a height of 2m.

The cova de la Foranca is 3.80m deep by 4m long and has a maximum height of 0.85 m; the cavities are located very close to one another, 3.50m apart.

Idrologia

la Foranca is a spring where water capture and underground piping works were carried out, and also at the rock shelter located beside it.

Altri dettagli

Both cavities have artificial walls, the result of works carried out to make use of the water that springs there, where lateral brick walls and the remains of a wooden reel for winding hoses can be seen. We know through oral transmission that someone had hidden in this spot during the civil war.

Storia

Known since remote times. In June 2020 they are visited by members of the GE Badalona who carry out the cataloguing work.
