Hi ha força confusió sobre el nom de la cova i també sobre la situació en el vostre cas. En el vostre mapa la situeu sota del cim de Punta Serena i esta més bé on hi ha la denominació "Cova de Punta Serena" al mateix mapa vostre. Ahir hi vam ser, seguint un track gravat i des del coll que comenta la vostre resenya s'ha de seguir un corriol bastant perdut cap a l'est, en baixada al principi i planer al poc, i a uns 50-75 m hi ha la cova, que coincideix amb la vostre, en planta i alçada. Diversos mapas de la zona la situen tambe aqui. En aquestos mapes no s'hi veu cap cova que estigui on vosaltres heu posat el logo. Salut
