Location

Easy to locate: on the N-340 at kilometre 1223 we find the Maset, a building located in El Pago, in the municipality of Subirats. We take a small path that leaves to the left of it and heads towards l'Ordal, parallel to the N-340 road and at a higher level. After about 100 metres, on the road embankment we will find this small cave. It lies beneath the protection netting, and is easily accessible by entering from the side of a pine tree, a spot where there is no netting. It is clearly visible from the road.
