Characteristics

Location

670 metres before reaching the small village of Montmagastre and 125 metres before Cal Donzell, a track leaves to the left of the road in the direction of can Puiterró, which after 840 metres places us on a small flat area beside the Penya del Donzell. Below the path to the south-west we find some cultivated fields; we will follow them along the right-hand side until we find a small path that leads us to the cavity. This is located at the end of a rocky stratum that runs from the Penya del Donzell towards the south.
