Characteristics

Location

On the C-12 road from Balaguer to Àger, once we have reached Les Avellanes, we will find the hostal Sant Jordi on the left; once past it, the camí dels Clots branches off to the left, and we will soon follow a turn-off to the right which is the camí dels Pous; further on, on the left, we will find the granges de la Viuda. When we have gone 1.8 kilometres from the village we find a turn-off to the right, almost opposite some farm buildings that stand a little way back on the left. We will follow this track for 75 metres, where we will find a corral on the right and above the track; the cavity is inside this corral.

History

A cavity known since ancient times and used as a corral; in fact it is known as the corral del Teixidor.
