From Sant Carles de la Ràpita you must go to the Cocó de Jordi, where there is an area to leave the car. From there, follow the route that climbs to la Foradada until reaching the font del Burgar. From this point you must begin to go up the barranc de Mata-redona along a small trail until reaching an area populated by small holly bushes. The little cave is in the very bed of the barranc.
