Location

From the end of Carrer Moranta in la Torre de Claramunt, where the Vinçó football pitch is, we follow the track that runs under the power lines until we reach the electricity pylon that stands above the cliff. At this point the municipal boundary changes. From here, keeping to the right, we must go down a narrow path that leads us to a track passing below the cliff. From this track the cave mouth can be seen; we must climb up through the middle of the wood, with no path, until we reach the base of the cliff where the cave is located.

Description

Morphology

Through a wide mouth, half of which is protected by a rammed-earth wall, we enter a gallery that climbs up and leads us to a chamber where a window opening onto the cliff is cut in the rock wall; this has been worked in its lower part. At various points in the cavity it can be seen that it has been partially modified artificially.
