Location

It is located in the Mont-roig mountain range. To get there, go to the village of Vilanova de la Sal and continue towards the railway halt; turn right towards the hermitage of Montalegre. Once at the junction leading to the hermitage, follow the track on the right towards the coll de Porta. Once past it, continue to the end of the track, where there is a forest refuge. From there, go back until you find the second torrent on the right of the track, which you follow until it is cut off by the cliff.
