Characteristics

Location

From l'Estartit we will follow the camí de la Torre Ponça (this path is closed to vehicles during the summer); before reaching the Torre Ponça we will turn right onto an asphalted road with a steep gradient until we come out onto a road that runs across the plain; we will continue to the left and before reaching a crossroads located on the plain we will head to the right to the place known as les Pedreres; on reaching the second of these we will head E for about 300 metres, where we will find the cavity at the place known as les Torroneres.
