Caratteristiche

Località

From the church of Santa Magdalena, north of Pontons, follow the path that passes beside the cemetery and heads toward the riera dels Carbons, going up it along its left hydrographic slope for a stretch of approximately 540 m; near this point on the path is the Font d’Oriola. Here you leave the path and head about 150 m in an E direction, climbing up toward the cliffs and crevices of les Roques Xiques. Above the main cliff is the Esquerda de les Roques Xiques and just a few metres away the Avenc de Can Marimon and, slightly lower, the Cova de la Font Oriola.
