Location

Going along the path of the Castells, which coming from the bottom of the gully, goes into the barranc del Bufador de l'Aferamot and winds to the left looking for the path of the Pla de l'Escoté. Once on the path that levels out towards this plateau, we will notice the visible ridge that delimits the gully descending from the right of the Castells. On this ridge are the avenc dels Tormos and the avenc de l'Escolopendra, and already up on the Esquerda Sota el Bufador dels Castells. Shortly before reaching the edge of the cliff that drops us into the barranc dels Pèlags, we will see a hole in the ground surrounded by moss. Approximate coordinates.
