Cova de les Tosques del Glorieta

Petita cova a la vall del riu Glorieta, Mont-ral.

Mont-ral • Alt Camp7m2m

A small cave in the Glorieta river valley, in Mont-ral, with a wide opening in travertine walls that gives access to a short ascending gallery.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in the Glorieta river valley, in Mont-ral. It can be reached both from the enabled parking area (paid in summer and on weekends) located after the ermita del Remei in Alcover, where the walk is a little more than 4 kilometres, or better from Mont-ral, from where one parks to go to the Glorieta river gorges; from this point the approximate route is 1.5 kilometres. You must go down along the path that leads to Alcover; after passing the Mirador de les Fonts del Glorieta we will pass beside the old basin of the power station, and shortly afterwards we will turn right at a point where we will find a wide terrace along which a path runs. On the right side of this path there is a small cliff of travertine; the cave entrance, which can be seen from the path, opens in this cliff on a terrace that is a little higher.
