Cova de la Lleixa

Cova de 35 metres de recorregut a La Morera de Montsant

Morera de Montsant, La • Priorat35m6m

A 35-metre-long cave in La Morera de Montsant, explored by the GE Lleidatà in February 1998.

Characteristics

Location

It is located in the Ventadors sector. Going down along the marked path coming from the Cornaledes, after passing the fork that changes slope and would lead us to the Montsant river along the Bisbe side, we continue downhill along the remains of the path, almost lost due to the floods and fire, which connected with the bottom of the Pèlags ravine. The cavity is very close to the cova del Grau without going down the step of the Ventadors path; one must look for an opening level with the cliff. Approximate coordinates.
