The painted shelter can be found in one of the depressions that run across the comarca (local district) of Les Garrigues (Spain), near to the area known as La Coma (the coomb) and to a fountain that has currently run dry. This is part of a much larger valley that, apart from an occasional change in the direction of the watercourse, is essentially a natural paradise from east to west and vice versa.

The paintings are located in a small cave, which has a small hood that protrudes no more than 0.70 m and whose sloping wall forms an angle of approximately 45º with the ground. The paintings occupy a surface that is 1 m high by 0. 70 m wide: the highest paintings are about 1.30m above the ground.

The painted frieze contains a total of 10 figures corresponding to ramiforms, anthropomorphs, quadrupeds and representations of humans, drawn in the schematic style and using the simple stroke technique. The figures are painted in different colours with the colours used being red, chestnut-red, dark chestnut-red, reddish-chestnut and dark reddish-chestnut.
