Small cave in les Avellanes i Santa Linya, with an ascending gallery of about 6 metres.

Characteristics

Location

From Santa Linya we will follow the track that goes to the railway station. On reaching kilometre 3.275, just after having passed the bridge that crosses the barranc de les Caixes, we will find the mouth of the cova de les Caixes on the left-hand wall. The coveta del barranc de les Caixes is located some 17 metres higher up; to reach it one must seek the best passage among the scrub that covers the mountainside.
