Characteristics

Location

Take the BV-1221 road that climbs to the coll de les Estenalles and leave the car at km 4, at the Barata car park. From here continue on foot along the dirt track that leads to Can Pèlecs; from there take a path that passes beside the Can Pèlecs pit and follow this trail in a NE direction. The path leads close to the cliff face, where the balma Blava is found, very visible.
