Location

At km 4.5 of the TV-3022 road, from el Perelló to Rasquera, a track leaves to the right and enters the wind farm. Shortly after entering, before reaching the transformer station of the Colladetes wind farm, the Ginestar path leaves to the left, continuing in a N direction parallel to the road. Shortly before having covered one kilometre between cultivated fields, on the right of the path there is an olive grove and in its very middle is the pit. Approximate coordinates.

Progression

At some points it was necessary to force.
