Tips

Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

August 15, 2022

Spacious balma that had been enabled as a refuge in Montserrat

Despite the fact that in many maps and texts it appears as a balm, we prefer to mention it as a cave, which is what it is in reality and, moreover, this is how it appears on the map of the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia.

It is a fairly spacious cave, it is 16 meters deep and 45 meters wide, inside there is a small wall of stones. Josep Fatjó tells us about this cavity, "it was fixed throughout the year 1959 and on the day of the inauguration the climbing monks said a mass". In the cave there was a wall in front of wood, bedrooms with two rows of wooden bunks and logs with a capacity for about 15-20 people, there was also a firewood store and a dining room with a fireplace, all made by members of the GAM of the Barcelonès Mountain Club. The unsightly people who roam the mountains with their lack of civility have dedicated themselves to burning everything and have reduced this emblematic place to a pile of ashes.
