Coveta with a 5 m route in Font-rubí, in Alt Penedès, with an entrance 1.90 m high by 5 m wide and an inner chamber.

Characteristics

Location

Leave from Cases Noves de la Mata (Font-rubí de Baix), at km 2 of the BP-2126 road, from where a dirt track heads E toward Santuises. After 700 metres we will see a large oak on our right. We will continue along the track on the left and in 400 metres we will reach Ca Manel de l'Obaga, where we will leave the car. Behind the cellar we will find an abandoned olive grove; from here we must climb in a S direction and we will find the cavity after covering about 80 metres. This sector is full of fallen trees that make passage difficult.
