Characteristics

Location

We will leave from the Castell de Penyafort located to the SW of Santa Margarida i els Monjos along the paved track that surrounds it and heads towards the SW, we will pass a group of houses (Cal Noi de Bellestar) and take a new track on the left in a SE direction towards the Senabra; before reaching it, we take a new path on the right that brings us close to the side of some vineyards at the barranc de Borrolleres. We will then walk up the aforementioned ravine for approximately 400 m; the cavity is found on the right hydrographic slope of the ravine at the base of a small cliff.
