Location

Leaving the Granadella along the C-233 road towards the Soleràs, on reaching kilometre 28.43 we will follow a track that leaves on our left and continues along the bottom of the Vall de les Figueres. After travelling about 1.34 kilometres, at the height of the mas de l'Aran, we must turn left in a S direction along a path that crosses the valley. After 370 metres we will turn left along a path that crosses the cultivated fields to follow a small valley uphill; at 150 metres we must turn left to continue along the other side of the valley; after travelling another 305 metres we will pass below the cova del Martí and 690 metres further on we will reach the font de Satorre.
