Characteristics

Location

On the TV-2401 road from la Bisbal del Penedès towards Juncosa de Montmell, once past kilometre 3 you must turn right towards the farmhouses of les Sansuies. Once you have reached the area of the urbanisation, continue along the main street until the asphalt ends; you must follow the track until you reach a crossroads where ahead there is a padlock barring the way, just at the height of a rounded construction with a well beside it; continue along the track on the right, now only suitable for all-terrain vehicles, until you reach the second turning on the right; the track levels out until you reach a kind of small square where you can turn around; here begins a path that climbs along the right-hand hydrographic side of the ravine, until you find a turning on the left that climbs the slope until you reach a cliff known as cova del Garriga, where climbing is practised and where there is a large number of fully equipped climbing routes. Once at the base of the cliff, the first cave we will find is no. 3.
