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 at Pla de Castellar, we will head N, towards the antennas located at el Castellar. From the SE part of the buildings a path leaves, skirting the cliff in a S direction; we will follow it for about 500 metres until reaching the coordinates (ED50- X:433517; Y:4629755). At this point a trail begins that descends through a pass allowing the cliff to be overcome, and where on the right are the caves PG-3 and PG-4. We will continue along the base of the cliff in a N direction: at 60 metres we find the caves PG-8 and PG-9, at 160 metres there is cova PG-5 and at 190 metres we will find these small caves PG-6 and PG-7, 8 metres above the path.
