Location

Above Horsavinyà. If coming from Sant Martí del Montnegre, a little before reaching Horsavinyà, we will see a lime kiln in fairly good condition, located on a bend to the left of the track. Going up from here, in about five minutes we will find the can Pica mine inside a holm oak grove. The cave is very close and a little further up.

Approximate coordinates to be checked.
