A 47-metre cave in Sant Feliu de Pallerols, long known to the inhabitants of the mas de la Torre.

Characteristics

Location

Along the C-63 road, before reaching Sant Feliu de Pallerols, specifically at kilometre 56700 metres, we will turn left where the start of the track leading to the mas de la Torre is. A few metres from the start we find a path that descends to the Brugent river; once on its bed we will follow it for a short stretch along the right bank where we will find the mouth of the cave.
