Cova Gran de Ferranes

At approximately km 1068 of the N 340, we take the Camí del Llop, which climbs up towards the Montsià. After passing the Patacó farmhouses, on the left, the path descends to cross the barranc del Llop. Just before the streambed we take a path on the left and follow it to a large esplanade with a beautiful maset where we can leave the car (better to go up with a high car).

We are at the Maset de Paletes, in the heart of the Racó dels Ferranes (Ferreries according to the ICC and also known as les Carabassades). We follow the path for a few metres but soon find a fenced property that blocks our way. We try to avoid it on the right, crossing a small ravine, and we continue climbing towards the lost properties of the upper part that lead up to the ridge. This must be climbed between the malea and wild boar trails. At around elevation 315 we must turn left and find a small clay pit. A little further on is the Cova petita de Ferranes and above it, at the base of a cliff, is the Cova gran de Ferranes.
