Characteristics

Location

From Bovera follow the camí de Bellaguarda, which runs alongside the Vall de Bovera. After 1850 metres, you pass in front of the balma de la Vall Major. From here continue 2300 metres (ETRS89 coordinates 306373 – 4577430) and take a turn-off to the left to the next junction on the left, which you also take to the end of the track, at the E end of an olive grove (ETRS89 coordinates 306865 – 4577691). Continue on foot along a path in a NE direction for a little more than one hundred metres, where the path turns towards the N. After 100 metres you will find the cova nº 3 del Moro. From here continue up the Vall de la Cova del Moro for some 350 metres to the Cova nº 2 del Moro, which is clearly visible.
