Characteristics

Location

From the Casetes de Vallirana we will go up the road to the coll del corral de Can Prunera, where we will take carrer dels Comtes d'Urgell on the right, follow it to the end, where we will turn right along carrer del Marqués de Maldà; after a few metres we will reach the junction with avinguda d'Olesa de Bonesvalls, which we will descend parallel to the torrent along its right hydrographic bank. After a few metres, on the left side of the street and at the end of a retaining wall, a path emerges that crosses the torrent and in about 30 metres takes us to the large mouth of the cova, la, which is on the left bank of the torrent.
