Abrigo de Vicent.
The walk departs from the parking lot to the Tambuc sector B site where you will see dinosaur footprints on the rock bottom of the dry river. You return and continue to Tambuc sector A where you can also see dinosaur footprints. Information boards give you the necessary information to identify the tracks. After your visit, you will continue walking through the dry riverbed in the Tambuc gorge. After about 600 meters you come to the Abrigo de Vicent, a prehistoric shelter of 7,000 years old where rock carvings can still be seen. The shelter is closed with a grille, but you can discover the two hunting scenes based on the information board. You continue to follow the meanders of the river and along the way you can enjoy the beautiful gorge and with a bit of luck a mouflon will cross your path. You return to the starting point via the same route.

For adventurers: At the end of the route you can see some cairns marking an exit from the gorge. This exit is 20 meters steeply uphill and not without danger. If you take this option, you can visit the impressive Cova de les Dones cave. At your own risk!
