Cova de la Vansa

Located at Tòrrec, belonging to the municipality of Vilanova de Meià, at the point where the weighbridge is, just opposite a track comes out; we will soon find a turn-off and must follow it to the left. After a little more than half a kilometre, the track makes a series of bends and descends to the barranc de les Planes; the track continues parallel to the ravine, going back up it. Just after crossing it, we will follow a path on the left that follows the ravine along the other bank, but now in the same direction as the water flow. We go round a rocky spur where some water pipes are visible and descend towards the barranc de Fontfreda following the path on the left; from this point the balma de la Vansa can already be seen. We cross the ravine and follow the path that at first seems to head towards the barranc de la Tartera; the path gains height and enters the barranc de Fontfreda on the left (hydrographic right). Shortly before arriving we find a small cave belonging to the group of the semi-troglodytic chapel of Santa Maria. About fifty metres further on the path climbs up to the cave.
