Cave with a 12-metre passage in Vallirana, within a rock shelter of the Salt del Bou cliff.

Characteristics

Location

The Salt del Bou cliff is located to the left of and below the track that leads from Mas de les Fonts to Begues, shortly after passing Font del Mas. At the base of this cliff, a raptor nesting site, there is a large, very visible rock shelter with two openings, set halfway up the cliff. At the left-hand torrent-waterfall and below the first large step is the cova gran, half hidden by a large rocky spur. The cova Petita is inside an elongated rock shelter, located about 200 metres to the left, and its entrance is completely covered by vegetation. Approximate coordinates.
