Characteristics

Location

By the C-1413b road, from Hostalets de Balenyà to Centelles, shortly before kilometre 18, we will turn right towards Fontderola and el Puigsagordi. Once on the Pla de Castellar, we will head N, towards the antennas located on the Castellar. We will find a first street on the right closed with a grille and, on reaching the second street on the right, also with a fence but open (ED50 coordinates X:433310; Y: 4629532), we will follow it towards the E until reaching the crag. From here we must follow the path that passes between the fence of the houses and the cliff in a S direction, for a few tens of metres, until finding on the left a small trail (ED50 coordinates X:433491; Y:4629476), which allows us to descend to the base of the crag. We will continue along the base in a S direction, for about 10 metres, where we will find the two entrances of the cova PG-2, and a couple of metres further on the entrance of the cova PG-1.
