It has an archaeological curiosity that is not always clearly explained, and I'm not making this up; it is documented as an artificially built granite block and is related to the Chalcolithic or Megalithic period between 2200 and 1800 BC, which suggests that it is not just a rock with a hole but could have been a prehistoric burial chamber where burials or funerary rituals were performed in prehistory.

Hidden among the forests of Figaró, the Socau Mine was a small magnetite mine in the late 19th century. Today, half-covered by vegetation, it retains its entrance tunnel and some of the rusted mine carts. Some hikers say that as they approach, the air feels colder, as if the earth still breathes from within. Some leave candles or stones at the entrance, following an old local custom of asking for protection before entering places where the mountain "speaks."

This cave, inhabited in prehistoric times, contains remains that demonstrate its use in the Neolithic or Bronze Age, such as stone tools, pottery fragments, and evidence of fire. Its strategic location, hidden but with good visibility of the surroundings, made it ideal as a refuge or stopover. Today, for cyclists like us, it's an excellent shelter in case of rain or to enjoy breakfast in the shade, thanks to its peaceful and protected location.

The "Pedra de Les Orenetes" (Swallows' Stone) is made up of a large granite block about 8 m long, 3 m wide and 3 m high, which has been heavily eroded. The basal part shows several cavities, one of which is a medium-sized shelter, which is the main area of the paintings. From this concavity, through which the block can be crossed from below, other concavities and eroded points with pictographic representations continue to the right. These correspond to curved, serpentine strokes, points, female figures, cruciform figures, bars, finger marks, anthropomorphic forms, quadrupeds, branch-shaped figures and human representations, as well as remains of pigment that are difficult to interpret. the schematic-semi-schematic to the stylized and naturalistic), chromatic (reddish, reddish-brown, reddish-orange and yellowish-orange) and techniques (fingering, simple stroke and flat ink) as well as a diverse degree of erosion that seems to indicate a process with superimpositions and diverse phases, some of which seem to be related to those of the Cogul shelter.
