Location

You must go up along the path that leads to the Roca del Corb. Shortly before reaching the turn-off for la Casa del Corb, on the right you can see some waymarks. A half-erased path descends steeply and then turns left and heads towards the foot of the cliff. A small stream is crossed, and following some waymarks you reach, first, the espluga de la masia del Cerveró, and a little further on, the font del Cerveró, also located inside a rock shelter.

On the ICC maps, at the point where this cavity is located, they mistakenly place the Espluga del Boix, which is actually in Sant Honorat.

Rock shelter about 10 metres wide by 4 metres high, completely closed off by a stone wall with a door opening. The entrance vestibule is the widest area and the cavity continues, after a small step, along a roomy, flat gallery that gradually loses height.
