Location

From the Hostal Roig, if we head towards the Pas Nou we will find two tracks on the right: the first track climbs towards the upper part of the Montsec de Rubies and the Portella Blanca; the second, which is the one we will follow, will take us between cultivated fields to a crossroads. We will continue along the left until the end, coming out onto a cultivated field; the cavity is located just above this and in the middle of the woods.
