An impressive deep cut ravine with a great deal of exposed rock and a very busy and noisy road running through it. There have been several areas of rock developed in the gorge and the most important of these are described briefly here. Driving up the gorge the first rock passed is the PARED DE GEGANT high on the left (see map). As the next long left-hand bend is rounded the narrow valley on the right is home to the SECTORS DEL DEPOSIT and VISERA. Across from the road at this point is the extensive SECTOR CAGALLO DE GEGANT, often with a prominently dispaled flag and 1.4 kilometres further up the gorge on the same side and rising above an impressive railway embankment is the PARED DE LA VIA. Access to each cliff is described individually.
