Characteristics

Location

From the municipality of Alòs de Balaguer we will cross the Segre river by the Alòs bridge and follow the paved track along the hydrographic left bank of the river in the direction of the water; after covering 1.4 kilometres from the bridge we will reach the Saborell ravine. From here we will go up the ravine along a path for 560 metres; at this point one must leave the path and cross the Saborell ravine. Cave no. 1 is located 65 metres to the E in a straight line from the path, while cave no. 2 is located 90 metres to the NE. Both entrances are separated by 55 metres.
