Cova de l'Estaca

It is located in the Mont-roig range. To reach it, go to the village of Vilanova de la Sal and continue towards the railway halt; turn right towards the ermita de Montalegre. Once at the junction leading to the ermita, continue along the track on the right towards the coll de Porta; before reaching it, there is a cliff on the left. Below the highest wall (Pala Alta), the wide mouth of the Cova Gran can be seen from the track at a height of about 50 metres, and about 10 metres lower down the mouth of the Cova de l'Estaca can be seen. Some terraces make access to the latter easier; nevertheless, an iron bar driven into the rock shows how long ago it was explored. To access the cova Gran, a good number of “spits” were installed, which the climbers visiting the area took it upon themselves to render useless.
