A few metres before reaching an electrical substation one must follow the track on the left in the direction of the Els Vinyals housing estate. On crossing a second scree slope one must ascend by a faint path, more or less waymarked, that climbs up to the cavity. Five metres to the S of Gelasa I is II.
