Description
Morphology
It is a rock shelter 80 metres wide where we find several small adjoining chambers up to 20 metres deep.
Progression
To reach it one can go up the slope from the ravine, which in this stretch changes its name from barranc de la Font Freda to barranc de la Jona, or else follow the path to the balmes de Gramenet and once there take the little path that climbs to Montadó; when we have climbed above the balmes de Gramenet, instead of continuing westwards, we must go towards the S, going around the foot of the cliff that forms a spur; once around this we will follow the same stratum until reaching the cave.
History
The first report about this cavity is provided by the GE Lleidatà in 1991. On the map of the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya it appears marked with the name cova de la Font del Camí (?).
