Location

At the entrance to Capçanes we will find the Celler Cooperatiu. We must follow carrer Llaberia to the end of the village and continue along a cemented path that runs alongside the barranc de la Vall. This cemented path gains height progressively until reaching a junction of paths, where we leave the path that takes us towards the Fou and continue to the left, along a dirt track that climbs towards the Vall de Calàs. Here we find a junction of tracks and take a path that climbs decisively towards the forat de Llaberia, located at the foot of the cingle de Calàs.

A hundred metres S of the forat de Llaberia is the cova Negra. To reach it, one must follow the base of the cingle, with no path.
