Small cave beneath the castle of Mediona, 6 metres deep and -1 metre of elevation change.

Characteristics

Location

Located on carrer del Molí de Sant Joan de Mediona. We will follow the camí de Can Verdaguer (paved road); after 2.2 kilometres, at a widening of the road, there is a turn-off to the left that in 200 metres will take us to the Castell de Mediona, where we will park in front of the Torre. From here a path sets off that passes behind the Castell and descends in the direction of the riera de Mediona. After passing the small tower, when the path turns left, you must go down the bank and continue to the right for about twenty metres, where la Cova is found.
