Esquerdot de Montaner

The serradell de Montaner is like a spur jutting out perpendicularly from the main mountain range that bounds the valley on the right, lying practically above the village of Alinyà. To reach it we take the track that leaves from the last bend of the road before arriving at l'Alzina and follow it for about four kilometres until we come to the first col, which is the coll de la Nou, where we will leave the vehicle. This track continues towards Fígols. From the col we will enter by way of Montaner following the highest ridge; after about twenty minutes of walking we link up with the cliff that faces the sunny side and the Alinyà slope; at this point we will find a major collapse, on whose left-hand side we have the main entrance of the cova de Montaner; one must continue a few metres further on until reaching a new and clear collapse of markedly tectonic characteristics; we are near the second entrance of the cova de Montaner, a fissure indicates the way to follow.
