Characteristics

Location

On the C-44 road from l'Hospitalet de l'Infant to Masriudoms, at km 3.71 on the left-hand side of the road there are two accesses to two tracks. Turning is prohibited, you must go as far as Masriudoms to turn and come back in the opposite direction, and access via the first of the two aforementioned tracks; we will follow the track Camí dels Pous d'en Cirici, which is cemented along a good part of its route. After 1.63 kilometres we come to a crossroads where we must keep left; when we have covered 3 kilometres from the start, we come to the coll de les Portes where we will park. On the right a path sets off that climbs up to the next ridge and then immediately descends to seek the first torrent in a W direction; the path passes through the very middle of the torrent until reaching the cova d'en Tascó, over a distance of 520 metres from the vehicle.
