Small cave in the ground among old terraced fields in the Roca Roja area, in the Montsià, with small lithogenic formations and no known survey.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in the Roca Roja area, in the Montsià. From les Cases d'Alcanar you must go to find the path that leads to the well-known pre-Iberian site of Sant Jaume – Mas d'en Serrà. From here you must follow the ridge line; on the right is the Moleta. You reach the fork of the Caseta and Povet del Navarro. We follow the lligallo and leave on the right the remains of the Corralissa del lligallo de Roca Roja. We take the path on the right, following the lligallo de Roca Roja, and soon we have a good panoramic view of the Racó del Ninyo, on its northern part. Before that we leave the path on the left to go and find the small cave. (Lligallo: livestock path)

Al tercer intent l'he trobat. prou desconeguda per a la gent. Es mante llimpia. Sols he tret una botella de vidre, per a portar cap a casa a reciclar.
