Montblanc • Conca de Barberà 14m

Small cave with 14 m of passage near the Mas d'en Carles, in Rojals (Montblanc), formed by a single gallery of forced conduit.

Characteristics

Location

From the small village of Rojals (Montblanc), one must head W along the track that leads to the coll de Mola. Shortly after, at the height of the Costa Roja, we will take a track to the left (closed) and follow the GR-171 to a new fork to the left that descends along the head of the barranc de la Baridana. Following this path (waymarked) we will reach the Mas d'en Carles, a walled rock shelter where the group of schematic rock paintings stands out, located on the left slope of the barranc del Pirro (according to the ICC) or of the Baridana (according to other maps).

About 10 metres to the W below the Mas d'en Carles, in a place used for climbing practice, this small cave is found.
