Location

We will take the BV-1221 road from the coll d'Estenalles towards Mura; when we reach kilometre point 17.200, we will leave the car in a widening and climb up to our right, on a steep slope, about 20 m, until we find a conglomerate cliff that blocks our way; right at the foot of the wall we will find the balma de la Font.
