Location

We will leave the village of Vilada along a track that leaves to the left of the road, which climbs in a N direction. The path we will follow is the old path of la Clusa; we will find several turnings, we will always follow the main path until we reach Sant Romà de la Clusa. We will take a turning to the right; the path takes us to the Ras de Clarent, here we will leave the vehicle to continue on foot. We will continue to the right of the track in the direction of the crag at our feet; we will find some rocks called els Altars, just below we will find the balma de Centenelles, very visible.
