Febró, La • Baix Camp6m0

Small cave in the barranc de la cova del Corral, la Febró, located in December 2021 by Montse Roca and Juli Serrano (SIE-CEA).

Characteristics

Location

Access begins from the cemetery of la Febró, where it is possible to park, and follows the T-704 road in the direction of la Febró for 115 metres. At this point, on the left of the road on the ground, there is a cement manhole cover and a signpost for the cova de la Vila; this is where the path that climbs the barranc de la Cova del Corral begins. After a route of about 800 metres, on the left slope and near the upper crag there is a characteristic rock in the shape of a pillar, known as el Castellot. One must climb the slope to reach it; in the lower part of this slope and on the W side of the rock is this small cave.
