Location

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; we will turn right towards the hermitage of Montalegre. Once we reach the junction that leads to the hermitage, we will follow the track on the right towards the coll de Porta. Once past it and when we begin to descend the track along the north slope of Mont-roig, we will see the entrance of the cova del Lladre hanging on the right of a torrent; on the left of the same torrent and almost opposite the cova del Lladre is the cova de la Monja.
