Location

From the Pla del Pèlac urbanisation we will head to Puig Bernat, where there is a water tank and a weather tower. From this point we will follow for 1 kilometre the track that runs along the ridge, until we reach an opening between two rocks on the right of the track, where a gully begins.

As soon as we start the descent down the gully, we spot a dozen metres to the left and right at the cliff edge the little cave no. 2. Continuing along the base of the cliff, which is heavily wooded, for a little more than 20 metres, we will find cave no. 1.
