Small cave of archaeological interest in Roses, in the Serra de Rodes.

Characteristics

Location

In the Serra de Rodes, to the S of Puig de Queralbs we find the coll de la Jacona; the cave is located 58 metres to the SW of the coll.

To reach it you must go to the Mas Fumats urbanisation and position yourself at the end of carrer Eivissa; from here a path sets off towards the dolmen de Puigsaquera and then continues ascending to Puigsaquera (471 m.), then we will continue almost level until reaching the coll de la Jacona.
