Location

The cave is located at the base of the cingles of the serra Plana (La Febró). From the T-704 road, between La Febró and the coll de Capafonts, at kilometre 32.435 where the road makes a 180-degree bend, we will head towards the cova dels Coloms. Once there, we will follow a faint path that runs along the base of the cingle in an easterly direction and reaches the cova del Corral. After covering 157 metres from the cova dels Coloms, we will find the cave entrance at the base of the cingle and at the point where a small torrent begins. A few metres further on we find a small cave where the entrance has been fitted with stones in the form of a dam, in order to collect the water that trickles inside.
