A 7-metre-long small cave near the monastery, municipality of Collbató.

Characteristics

Location

Leaving the monastery along the camí de Sant Miquel, next to the lower station of the funicular de Sant Joan, one reaches the camí del Viacrucis (iron grille), which is left to the right; a little further on, also to the right, there is a stone pedestal where some steps begin, which higher up become a steep path that gains height through the canal dels Micos. At the cliff edge one must follow to the right and there we will find, first the cova del Triangle and a little further on the cova de Fra Garí.
