Caratteristiche

Località

Before reaching the village of Alfara de Carles, a turnoff to the left leads to the centre of El Toscar. Here, follow the path that climbs to the coll de Morera and at this point, turn left to take the path of the Cova Pintada d'Alfara. Following this path and after passing a high-voltage tower, on the right of the trail and visible from it, there is a cut in the wall. Inside this cut there is a small concavity that does not go deep, but about 5 m from it is the cave.
