Small cave in Sant Martí Sarroca, in Alt Penedès, of no speleological interest, known since time immemorial.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in Sant Martí Sarroca, in Alt Penedès. From the font de la Salut one must follow the path that runs along the right bank of the riera de Pontons and goes into the forest. Almost when in front of the apse of the church of Sant Martí Sarroca, which we see on the hill on the other side of the riera, one must continue to the right along a narrow path that climbs suddenly through the forest and in a few minutes leads us to the small [foot] of a cliff where several cavities open. The one in the middle is the Cova Rodona and a few metres to the NW is this small cavity and the foradada. At present the whole cliff presents a series of very well-known via ferratas of different difficulty. Approximate coordinates.
