Cave with a 16-metre passage at the Font d'Alba, Begues.

Characteristics

Location

It is located above the vertical of the Font d'Alba, about 200 metres from the track and at the base of a cliff. Access is via a path that begins on the track itself, a few metres to the right of the thalweg closest to the spring, which ascends directly through the forest until it levels out above the first cliff; some stone steps lead us to the cavity. Approximate coordinates.
