Characteristics

Location

From Sant Carles de la Ràpita you must go to the Cocó de Jordi, where there is an area to leave the car. From here you must set out on the route, always hard, that climbs to la Foradada del Montsià. From this point you must follow the path in a SE direction and keep descending, to go around the Palleret as well, also on the left. A large knob of rock wedged on the ridge that looks like a haystack. Once past it and a few metres further on you must pay attention to your right, leave the path and descend a few metres towards the barranc d'Aiguassera. Through a small channel between the kermes oak we descend to find the base of a small cliff, and on the right we find the mouth of the cova del Palleret.
