Characteristics

Location

Leaving the Granadella by the C-233 road towards the Soleràs, on reaching kilometre 28.43 we will follow a track that leaves on our left and continues along the bottom of the Vall de les Figueres. After travelling about 1.34 kilometres, at the height of the mas de l'Aran, we must turn left in a S direction along a path that crosses the valley. After 370 metres we will turn off to the left along a path that crosses the cultivated fields to follow a small valley going up; at 150 metres we must turn left to continue along the other side of the valley, and after travelling another 305 metres we will arrive at the cavity, which is found in the upper terraces on the left.
