About 110 metres before reaching it, take a track that leads to Mas Vallet. After about 100 metres you will find two small holm oaks on the left. Leave the car here and go into the forest on your right. After 10 metres you will find a bank that you must follow and it will lead you to the cave.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is 10.2 metres wide and no more than one metre high. Inside, the ceiling descends until it touches the floor, 5 metres from the entrance. On our left the overhang continues for a few more metres, but the passage is impassable and the end can be seen, where the ceiling touches the floor. Immediately above the overhang there is a dry-stone bank about 3 metres high.

History

Known since time immemorial.
