Caratteristiche

Località

From Horta de Sant Joan, follow the road that leads to the Àrea d'esbarjo del Mas de la Franqueta. At km 4.7, on the left, is the entrance to the track of les Roques d'en Benet (closed) and where, a few metres further on, the car must be left. On the left a path begins that passes below the Mas de Curassana and goes up the barranc de la Pineda. The path leaves the barranc and climbs towards the SW to reach the eastern slope of the Pena de Gall until arriving at the Coll de la Pena and then approaching the Cingle de Roca Llisa. The path continues towards the Racó del Bassiolet and finally arrives at the Coll de Pere. From here, to the NE, the cingle where the cave is located can already be seen.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A curious cave that opens in the small cingle through a large entrance mouth and two large holes that act as windows. Its large rounded hall serves as a shelter for the goats. We do not have a survey and therefore do not know the exact dimensions of the cavity.

Progressione

From the Coll de Pere, to the NE, the cingle where the cave is located can already be seen, and it is reached by a steep slope.

Storia

Known since remote times by the shepherds of the area, who have used it to keep the flocks.
