Location

From Capafonts, follow the TV-7041 road towards Prades; just after kilometre 24 we find a marked right-hand bend, at this point and on the left-hand side there is space to park the vehicle. From here we must continue along a faint path that leads us to the base of the Picorandan cliff, following the cliff in a southerly direction, a few metres further on we will find the entrance to the cavity.
