Small sandstone cave in Mont-roig del Camp, known since time immemorial and first cited in speleological literature in June 2013.

Characteristics

Location

We will leave Mont-roig del Camp along the Colldejou road (T-322). On reaching km 7.7 we will see on the right the path leading to the hermitage of the Mare de Déu de la Roca, which we will follow to the end, where we will leave the car. In a northerly direction a signposted path sets off, which we will follow to the first junction. We will take the path on the right and shortly afterwards we will pass in front of the cave. From the car park it will take us about 5 minutes.
