Small cave of archaeological interest in Olèrdola, known since time immemorial and with archaeological excavations.

Characteristics

Location

From Viladellops we must go to the ermita de Sant Joan, where we can leave the car. Follow the track in a S direction and take the first turning on the left, which we follow for about 200 metres. From here, now without a path, we head in a S direction, towards the torrent de les Jonqueres. Once past a bank that overcomes a drop of 1 metre, we must go and look for the base of the second cingle and follow it towards the W until we find the cave.
