Valls d'Aguilar, Les • Alt Urgell18m0

Cova inferior de la Barra, lower part of the same joint, with a horizontal gallery 18 metres long in Les Valls d'Aguilar.

Characteristics

Location

On the road from Noves de Segre to Taús and before reaching Bellpui, we find a track on the left that leads to a house and a few metres further down reaches the river; the track continues on the other side of the river, following its course. About a hundred metres after having crossed the river we will take an ascending path on the right-hand side. After half an hour of climbing in zig-zag we will leave the path and cross a torrent to head towards some walls that lie to the south. First we will find the cova del Pi Gros, a little further east we find the cova del Pont and a little further east we find the cova del Roser; about 10 metres above is the cova de l'Escala, which is visible from the road and the river; the cova de la Barra is located 370 metres east of the cova de l'Escala, on the other side of the ravine; it is difficult to approach due to the vegetation and the verticality of the terrain. The entrance of the cova de la Barra is found in a large fissure that can be seen from the road; the cova inferior de la Barra is located just below the former.
