Location

From Artesa de Segre you must go to the nearby village of Baldomà; from there a road leads to the centre of La Clua. 600 metres before reaching it, a track branches off to the left which, after several bends, brings you to the edge of a deep-cut torrent, from where you can see opposite, on the other side of the torrent, the cliff where the cavity is located. This torrent can be crossed without difficulty a little further on. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

It is a group of cavities generated by the evolution of the cliff face and they are connected to one another. The widest fissure is parallel to the cliff. The upper entrance is the smallest. The widths range between 0.2 and 4 metres. Several lower entrances open among the vegetation of the cliff wall.
