Location

The cave is located at the Fondo de Vallbona (Garraf). From the Rat-penat residential development, one must go to find the final stretch of the Fondo de Vallbona and begin to ascend it through the very middle of the streambed. Shortly before finding the old and lost path that skirts above some stone banks along the left slope of the ravine (on the right of the route), the cave is located about 2 metres above the streambed on the right slope. The entrance is completely hidden among the vegetation.
